They will clean thermal insulation around the vents for the Elektron oxygen-generation system, install a work platform, replace material sciences experiments and move a television camera from one Russian docking module to another
Sorry for the lack of context on my posts.. I have no sound at work so only can provide pictures...
Fyodor (EV-1) has the all-white suitOleg (EV-2) has 2 red stripes on the back
Interesting, here is written sth else :"Mondays spacewalk will be the fifth for Yurchikhin, who will wear the spacesuit marked with red stripes and the first for Skripochka, who will wear the suit with blue stripes. "
According to NASA PAO this is the first russian EVA preformed not just over Russian ground-stations since data is now feed through TDRS/MCC-H to MCC-M
From ISS On-Orbit Status Report for 10/11/2010.RS EVA Flight Rule Change:IMMT (ISS Mission Management Team) today approved a change in a Flight Rule which in the past called for RS EVA to take place only over RGSs (Russian Ground Sites) for downlinking Orlan suit telemetry via VHF (Very High Frequency). ISS, Soyuz, and Orlan suits utilize VHF-2 frequency pair. VHF-2 up to now had been limited to spacecraft emergencies or any contingency scenarios. The FR change allows Orlan spacesuit EVA operations over CONUS (Continental US) using the VHF-2 channel as well as spacecraft emergencies and contingencies. Use of VHF over CONUS requires GSFC network director pre-coordination due to frequency proximity to those of general aviation.
CMG are maintaining attitude control, don't they usually use russian attitude control during russian EVAs?

On the last Russian EVA (25), attitude control was handed over from USOS CMGs to RS Thrusters prior to egress. So I don't know why it's different this time. It could be an error on the part of the PAO.
Doing inventory check(sorry for my bad coverage but I have to study for my exam at the same time, and I truly think Cantonese is harder to learn than to fly the shuttle )
just noticed - is this discolouration on the handle or paint missing?

Probably Space Pete will know the depress is done on Russian control. During the EVA it is usually CMGs unless the location/activities dictate otherwise.On the last Russian EVA (25), attitude control was handed over from USOS CMGs to RS Thrusters prior to egress.

hard to see but it is flaking off...

Superb work guys! Really appreciated.
Uh, what just happened, and how? Look at the altitude change....Mean altitude gain in the last 24 hours 171 m (due to RS EVA-26)
Yes, but even ESA doesn't mention this activity. Are you sure it wasn't deferred to VKD-27 (or later), as it is the case for IPI-SM ?
The experiments that were removed were: KONTUR ("ROKVISS" robotics) monoblock. EXPOSE-R. IPI-SM monoblock unit (accelerator channel) of the IMPULSE plasma pulse injector
