[b]ISS Expedition 68: Russian Spacewalk 56[/b] Two cosmonauts will conduct a spacewalk outside of the International Space Station to relocate a radiator from one Russian module to another. Expedition 68 commander Sergey Prokopyev and flight engineer Dmitri Petelin, both of Roscosmos, are scheduled to exit the station's space-facing Poisk module at 6:15 a.m. EST (1115 GMT) on Friday (Nov. 25). The primary objective of the spacewalk is oversee and assist with the move of a radiator from the Rassvet mini-research module to the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module. Cosmonaut Anna Kikina will control the European robotic arm from inside to the space station to transfer the radiator between modules. Prokopyev will wear a Russian Orlan spacesuit with red stripes, while Petelin will wear an Orlan with blue stripes. This will be the fourth spacewalk for Prokopyev and the second for Petelin.
