They installed and connected the Obstanovka
plasma wave experiment, a Russian investigation into space weather in
Earths upper atmosphere. This task includes the planned jettison of two
probe containers and a cable reel. They then removed a container from the
Russian experiment Biorisk, which looks at the effects of microbial bacteria
and fungus on structural materials used in spacecraft construction. |
Russia and the U.S. define
EVA
differently. Russian cosmonauts are said to perform
EVA
any time they are in vacuum in a space suit. A U.S. astronaut must have at
least his head outside his spacecraft before he is said to perform an
EVA. |
