Posted: Tue, Nov 16, 2010, 6:55 AM ET (1155 GMT)
Two Russian cosmonauts spent six and a half hours outside the International Space Station on Monday, completing several tasks on the Russian segment of the station. Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Skripochka completed the 6-hour, 27-minute spacewalk at 4:22 pm EST (2122 GMT), installing a new multipurpose workstation on the exterior of the Zvezda module and performing maintenance on several experiments mounted on the Zvezda and Pirs modules. The two were also scheduled to relocate a television camera from one end the Rassvet docking module to another, but were unable to do so because of interference with insulation at the location where the module was to be moved.
