Earlier in the day, a Sputnik correspondent reported from the Russian Mission Control Center (MCC) that two Russian members of the crew of the International Space Station (ISS), Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazansky, ventured outside the orbital outpost for the first time in 18 months. "Currently the works are underway, the result of the testing will show when they will start operation.

A different kind of transmitter would be installed," Kaleri explained. The previous Russian spacewalk was carried out by cosmonauts Yuri Malenchenko and Sergey Volkov on February 3, 2016.
