Russian cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Denis Matveev began a seven-hour spacewalk Monday to install a new robotic arm on the floating International Space Station platform near Russia's Nauka module."During the first spacewalk, the cosmonauts will install and connect a control panel for the European robotic arm, a 37-foot-long manipulator system mounted to the recently arrived Nauka multipurpose laboratory module," NASA said in a statement.
Matveev and Artemyev will install a control panel on the arm, install handrails on Nauka, and remove protective covers from the arm during the operation. Monday's space venture marks the fourth spacewalk of the year and 249th for work on the orbiting science hub, NASA said.
