Both cosmonauts arrived at the station aboard the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft on September 15, 2023.
Roscosmos reported that the cosmonauts successfully deployed a communications system and corrosion analysis equipment during the spacewalk.
The main objectives of the spacewalk were to deploy one panel on a synthetic radar system on the Russian Nauka module and install equipment and experiments on the Poisk module to analyze corrosion levels.
The synthetic radar communications system on the Russian segment of the complex is now online and being used to monitor Earth’s environment for the first time.
Two Russian cosmonauts, Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub, completed a spacewalk outside the International Space Station on April 25, 2024.

The Poisk mini-research module received new hardware adapters, which will support future spacewalk activities.
Both cosmonauts arrived at the station aboard the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft on September 15, 2023. They joined NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara as part of Expedition 71.
The cosmonauts successfully unfolded and latched the fourth of four panels for a synthetic radar communications system on the Russian Nauka multipurpose laboratory module.
This was the first time the radar system was used to monitor Earth’s environment.
They installed a stowage platform for hardware adapters on the Poisk mini-research module to support future spacewalk activities.

. . . the cosmonauts made quick work of all their activities, running about two hours ahead of schedule.
The spacewalk was the 270th in support of International Space Station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades

Two Roscosmos cosmonauts, Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub, will conduct a spacewalk outside the International Space Station on April 25, 2024.
The cosmonauts will deploy one panel on a synthetic radar system on the Nauka module and install equipment and experiments on the Poisk module to analyze corrosion levels.
Accuracy
The spacewalk is expected to begin at 10:55 a.m. EDT and could last up to seven hours.
NASA will provide live coverage of the spacewalk starting at 10:30 a.m. EDT through various platforms including NASA TV, YouTube, and the agency’s website.
This is the 270th spacewalk in support of space station operations. It will be Oleg Kononenko’s seventh spacewalk, and Nikolai Chub’s second.
The cosmonauts will wear Orlan spacesuits with red and blue stripes, respectively.

Commander Kononenko has previously completed six spacewalks, while this was flight engineer Chub's second.
Accuracy
The spacewalk took place on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
The cosmonauts successfully unfolded and latched the fourth of four panels for a synthetic radar communications system on the Russian Nauka multipurpose laboratory module.
The cosmonauts also rotated a plume impingement unit, swabbed nearby surfaces, and returned inside with a biological exposure experiment for further study.
This was Kononenko’s seventh spacewalk, totaling 44 hours and 30 minutes across three decades.
The cosmonauts will wear Orlan spacesuits with red and blue stripes, respectively.
