ISS Expedition 38 Russian Cosmonauts Install Cameras on EVA
Outside the International Space Station, Expedition 38 Commander Oleg
Kotov and Flight Engineer Sergey Ryazanskiy conducted a spacewalk Jan.
27 to reinstall a pair of cameras designed to downlink views of the
Earth for internet-based subscribers as part of a commercial agreement
between a Canadian firm and the Russian Federal Space Agency. An initial
attempt to install and activate the cameras during a previous spacewalk
Dec. 27 was unsuccessful, but the second time proved to be the charm as
data was finally received at the Russian Mission Control Center
following the reinstallation of the cameras. The spacewalk was the sixth
in Kotov's career and the third for Ryazanskiy.
