“Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Artemiev and Denis Matveev have completed a spacewalk under the Russian program,” the state corporation’s Telegram channel said in a statement.
The exit hatch of the Poisk module was closed on April 19 at 00:37 Moscow time, so they spent 6 hours and 37 minutes in outer space.
The astronauts performed a number of works to prepare the ERA remote manipulator for operation.
Earlier, the Director General of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, spoke about the selection of candidates for cosmonauts from Belarus and named the qualities that specialists should have.
