The ISS will host the second in 2025 spacewalkIt is expected that Russian cosmonauts Sergei Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky during extracorporeal activities will install blocks of a pulsed plasma injector on the module "Science"The editorial office of the TASS website27 October, 22:02MOSCOW, October 28. /TASS/. Russian cosmonauts Sergei Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky (TASS specialist at the international space station (ISS) on October 28 will go into outer space - for the second time as part of the ISS-73 expedition. In the course of extra-ship activities (VKD), it is planned to install blocks of a pulsed plasma injector (the Experiment "Impulse") on the "Science" module to study from the ISS the influence of satellites on the ionosphere of the Earth.As reported in Roscosmos, the opening of the output hatch of the module "Search" is scheduled for 17:19 GMT. The estimated duration of the ACP is 6 hours 28 minutes. This will be the second spacewalk of the ISS spacecraft in October. The previous VKD was carried out by Ryzhikov and Zubritsky on October 16, its duration was 6 hours 11 minutes 12 seconds.In addition to the installation of the pulsed plasma injector, Russian cosmonauts will also have to clean the leuppetur of the reinforced alternative of the multi-purpose laboratory module "Science", replace the cassette of scientific equipment for molecular beam epitaxia (the Excr-M experiment), as well as to transfer the external control panel of EMMI to the remote manipulator ERA. According to Dmitry Akhmerov, a leading engineer of the VKD department of the RKK "Energia" (part of Roscosmos) Dmitry Akhmerov, it may already be possible to get the first grown films of semiconductor crystals.The plasma injector is one of two blocks of the IPI-500 scientific equipment complex, which also includes a special unit for controlling the electrophysical parameters of the development of the company "NPO IT". The development of equipment was carried out by order of the Rocket and Space Corporation "Energia" them. S. P. The Queen. The planned experiment will be conducted on the multi-purpose laboratory module "Science" of the Russian segment of the ISS. During the life of the ISS, scientists will be able to include the equipment at the right time and at the desired point of the orbit, to explore the ionosphere during various cosmic events, such as magnetic storms or solar activity.As last time, Ryzhikov will perform the VKD in the commander's spacesuit "Orlan-MKS" No. 7 with red lamps, Zubritsky - in the spacesuit "Orlan-ISS" No. 6 with blue. For Ryzhikov, spacewalks will be the third in his career, for Zubritsky - the second.
