Expedition 67 Commander Oleg Artemyev and Flight Engineer Denis Matveev, both of Roscosmos, will exit the station’s space-facing Poisk module. The primary objectives of the spacewalk are to relocate an external control panel for the arm from one operating area to another and test a rigidizing mechanism on the arm that will be used to facilitate the grasping of payloads...Friday’s spacewalk will complete unfinished tasks from a spacewalk Aug. 17, which was cut short after Artemyev’s spacesuit showed abnormal battery readings about 2 hours and 17 minutes into the spacewalk.
Two cosmonauts spent Friday reviewing procedures for an upcoming spacewalk to continue outfitting the European robotic arm (ERA). Cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Denis Matveev reviewed the tasks and maneuvers they will use when they exit the Poisk module’s airlock and translate towards the ERA in their Orlan spacesuits...
Russian cosmonauts will make a spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS) on September 2, Mission Control said on Thursday during a communication session with the ISS crew, streamed by NASA.
According to the morning Roscosmos ISS briefing, the next #EVA is scheduled for September 2 ("следующий выход на 2 число планируется"). Also they said, almost the half of the planned tasks were completed during the yesterday's EVA.
Russian spacewalks (VKDs) ... [that are] ... "unscheduled/contingency" ... are given a suffix "a", "b", etc. (if two or more are done by the same Expedition crew).

Cosmonauts are now completing the airlock operations and ready to begin spacewalk... roughly on schedule
..and here is apparently the infamous star tracker (black circle top right), whose missing thermal insulation (now in place) forced to delay the launch of the Nauka module last year
Here is Denis in a suite with blue stripes.
The payload platform is now successfully latched to the BTL5 base point on the Nauka module.
Cosmonauts are now preparing the relocation of the EMMI panel used to control the European Robotic Arm:
