Today, Russian astronauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexei Zubritsky will go into space. The flight will last about five hours.
Ryzhikov and Zubritsky will install a state-of-the-art molecular beam testing system on the Nauka laboratory module, remove the platform containing the commercial camera, and launch it into space later. In addition, they will clean the windows of the "Zvezda" service module to ensure visibility and safety of further work.
It is noteworthy that this is happening at a stage when NASA's activities in the USA are partially suspended due to financial reasons. However, the agency decided to broadcast the operation live, considering it as an exceptional mission. This flight will be the 276th in the history of ILO.
