I wonder if that corrosion would be from free atomic oxygen around the station? I have been told that, if Elektron works in a mode with the maximum power consumption, it allocates alkali, which promotes corrosion occurrence. - Removed the US EMU (Extravehicular Mobility Unit) lights, video camera, REBA battery & electric power cable from Orlan-MK for return to CDR Williams I did not notice these items on Russian spacesuits during yesterday's spacewalk.

Thanks anik! Depending on how serious, another lesson learned, and maybe something to remedy in future, or at least to avoid, depending on the severity.

During the comentary Im sure I heard that the lights (as used on American suits) were not being used,but it was clear that the Russian versions were,are the Russian lights "new" ?
Here's a pic of both lights "on"
The lights on the right were being cycled on and off as I got the grab,

Thanks, I knew they'd got lights but always asumed they were the American ones, JJ..

I knew they'd got lights but always assumed they were the American ones Our spacesuits got lights on Orlan-DM spacesuits (first use - on August 2, 1985) on Salyut-7 station. If I understand correctly, this type of lights (with two filament lamps in each light) have been used on Orlan-DM, Orlan-DMA and Orlan-M spacesuits (till February 22, 2007). (see image 1) From February 22, 2007 on Orlan-M and Orlan-MK spacesuits another type of lights (with 42 diode lamps in each light) is using. (see image 2) In many spacewalks on ISS we have used combination of Russian and US lights. (see image 3)

On figure 12 it is not AR-2AR-VKA antenna, it is 4AO-VKA antenna. Of course it is 4AO-VKA !!! Excuse this stupid mistake !

01/17/2010:
In final close-out activities after the Orlan EVA on 1/14, Maxim & Oleg worked in the DC1 (Docking Compartment) to re-integrate the Progress 35P cargo ship, docked at the nadir port, with the ISS by:
- Opening the hatches and installing the QD (quick disconnect) screw clamps (BZV) of the docking & internal transfer mechanism (SSVP) to rigidize the coupling
- Installing the ventilation/heating air duct
- Dismantling the docking mechanism (StM, Stykovochnovo mekhanizma) between the cargo ship and the DC-1

Would much rather see exterior shots of the ISS they must have taken.
