What's the sublimator?
From an interview - best way of explaining:
"In the backpack on each spacesuit, we have something called a sublimator. And you may recall from science, sublimation is a process by which ice will just evaporate directly into water vapor without melting. And so what we do in space is we allow ice to build up in the sublimator, which is exposed to vacuum, and then the particles of ice evaporate directly into space because of the zero pressure that the ice is exposed to. And that's how we reject heat from the spacesuit. "

They are - kind of
One says that he doesn't like this position, but the other one argues that he has just found a comfortable position

A question was raised about just one antenna attached to the satellite. Seems like there should be 2. Cosmonauts confirm that there was only 1 antenna.

Going to return the Radioskaf to the DC
Edit: due to concerns, going to leave it on the outside of the DC

The decision is: to turn all switches off (the ones that were just turned on) and return Radio-Skaf back into the hatch.
Cosmonauts are asked to be careful with the solar arrays.
Cosmonaut expresses opinion that it is better to launch it now. Otherwise during the next attempt there will be no solar arrays (implying they will be broken during all these transfers)
