Author Topic: VKD-54 RS EVA (7/10 Nauka outfitting): August 17, 2022 [Artemyev, Matveev]  (Read 20453 times)

Offline eeergo

After the successful completion of VKD-ESA 54 with Cristoforetti, and just missing the Strela-2 relocation, I have noticed it is now estimated in the "Schedule of ISS Flight Events (part 2)" thread that this spacewalk, VKD-54 55, will take place in August (also because there are just a few days left in July).
Is there any estimate as to how soon it will take place?
This will be the first time ERA will be employed operationally, and will constitute a milestone in RS outfitting, finally employing one of the pieces of hardware sent up in the good ol' days when full-fledged cooperation was a thing: Nauka's airlock launched with Rassvet in Atlantis (STS-132, 2010). So quite a pretty big event!

Russian cosmonauts will go into outer space in August
29.07.2022 14:00
In mid-August 2022, members of the 67th long-term expedition to the International Space Station, cosmonauts of the Roscosmos State Corporation Oleg Artemiev and Denis Matveev, will perform a spacewalk under the Russian program.
While working outside the station, the cosmonauts will continue work on integrating the European remote manipulator ERA into the Russian segment of the ISS. They will mount the elbow cameras for additional viewing on the manipulator, transfer and connect the external control panel of the EMMI manipulator and dismantle the starting rings to make the manipulator lighter.
The estimated duration of the exit within the framework of the ISS project is 6 hours 46 minutes.
This will be the 63rd Russian exit as part of the ISS project. For Oleg Artemiev, he will be the seventh in his space career, for Denis Matveev - the third. Since March 1965, 72 cosmonauts of the USSR and Russia have carried out 158 ​​exits in domestic space suits.

ISS, July 29. Russian cosmonauts are scheduled to embark on their next spacewalk under the national program in mid-August, Roscosmos cosmonaut, TASS special reporter Oleg Artemyev announced on Friday.

The extravehicular activity is tentatively scheduled for August 17, he said.

As an additional task during their spacewalk, Artemyev and his teammate Denis Matveyev may carry out work on creating an extra route from the Zarya module to the Poisk module in the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS). This task was initially planned for the extravehicular work by Artemyev and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti but was dropped in the process.

I believe this spacewalk is going to be VKD-54

On Wednesday, August 10, 2022, on board the Russian segment of the station, the following were performed:
preparation for Oleg Artemiev and Denis Matveev's spacewalk under the Russian program (VKD-54) - study of the transition route and exit working areas using the DOUG software and viewing through the station windows

Additional sources:

The NASA TV schedule above
The DOUG package for this spacewalk is called rs_eva_54_v4
The DOUG package for the previous spacewalk was labeled RS_EVA_ESA_v5.
The NASA video made with package RS_EVA_ESA_v5 also uses the title "Russian, European Space Agency Spacewalk Animation" and does not refer to it as VKD-54. All previous spacewalk preview videos use "Russian Spacewalk 53" etc
ROSCOSMOS refers to the previous EVA as ВКД-ЕКА / VKD-ESA

TLDR: I think the previous thread is mislabeled and is actually a special "VKD-ESA".

MEDIA ADVISORY M22-109

NASA Sets Coverage for Russian Spacewalk

NASA will provide live coverage on Wednesday, Aug. 17, of a spacewalk with two Russian cosmonauts to continue outfitting the European robotic arm on the International Space Station’s Nauka laboratory.

Coverage will begin at 9 a.m. EDT on NASA Television, the NASA app, and agency’s website. The spacewalk is scheduled to begin around 9:20 a.m.

Expedition 67 Commander Oleg Artemyev and Flight Engineer Denis Matveev, both of Roscosmos, will begin the six-and-a-half-hour excursion by exiting the station’s space-facing Poisk module. The primary objective of the spacewalk is to install cameras on the European robotic arm, relocate an external control panel for the arm from one operating area to another, remove launch restraints near the two end effectors or “hands” of the arm, and test a rigidizing mechanism on the arm that will be used to facilitate the grasping of payloads.

The European robotic arm will be used to move payloads and equipment outside the Russian segment of the station, joining the Canadian-built Canadarm2 robotic arm and the Japanese arm already supporting station maintenance, operations, and research.

Artemyev will wear a Russian Orlan spacesuit with red stripes, while Matveev will wear a Russian Orlan suit with blue stripes. This will be the seventh spacewalk for Artemyev and the third for Matveev.

Both spacesuits are in good order, as two cosmonauts switch to internal power in preparation for exiting the Poisk module to begin VKD-54 spacewalk:
