[b]ISS Expedition 69: Russian Spacewalk 58[/b] Two cosmonauts will conduct a spacewalk outside of the International Space Station to deploy and activate a recently-relocated radiator. Expedition 69 commander Sergey Prokopyev and flight engineer Dmitri Petelin, both of Roscosmos, are scheduled to exit the station's space-facing Poisk module at 11:55 a.m. EDT (1555 GMT) on Friday (May 12). The primary objective of the spacewalk is the configuration of the same radiator they installed on the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module during a spacewalk on April 19. Roscosmos flight engineer Andrey Fedyaev will remain inside the space station assisting the spacewalkers in and out of their Orlans and monitoring their excursion. Prokopyev will wear a Russian Orlan spacesuit with red stripes, while Petelin will wear an Orlan with blue stripes. This will be the sixth spacewalk for Prokopyev and the fourth for Petelin.
