Astronauts return to ISS after completing spacewalk

The press service of NASA reported that the European and Japanese astronauts returned to the International Space Station after more than six and a half hours of spacewalk, Interfax reports.

It is reported that Tomas Peske and Akihiko Hoshide have installed equipment on the support segment P4 of the ISS truss to mount a new pair of more powerful IROSA solar panels, which will be delivered to the station by the Cargo Dragon of the American company SpaceX in 2022.

Earlier it was reported that experts corrected the orbit of the International Space Station before the launch of the Soyuz MS-19 manned spacecraft, on board of which actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko will arrive for filming.

The engines of the Zvezda Service Module turned on at 21:54 Moscow time on September 11 and ran for 31 seconds. After the maneuver, the height of the station increased by 750 meters.
