[b]Spacewalkers to jettison gear, collect samples[/b] Expedition 41 commander Max Suraev and flight engineer Alexander Samokutyaev of the Roscosmos will don Orlan spacesuits and exit the International Space Station's Pirs airlock on Wednesday (Oct. 22) for a planned six-hour spacewalk set to begin at 8:24 a.m. CDT (1324 GMT). The spacewalkers will work outside the station's Russian segment to jettison science and communications gear no longer being used. They will also remove a protective cover from a biological exposure experiment, collect samples of particulate matter on the Pirs docking compartment and photograph the station's Russian exterior.
