Cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazansky broke the record stay of Russians in outer space, having worked in spacesuits for ISS board for more than eight hours. This is reported by RBC. Crew members The ISS opened the hatches of the Pirs docking module on Friday at 17:00 Moscow time. Kotov and Ryazansky had to work in orbit for seven hours, however, due to technical problems they spent in outer space 8 hours 7 minutes. The astronauts failed to completely complete the entire the planned work program, as they established on medium and high resolution cameras were inoperative. As a result, Kotov and Ryazansky had them remove and bring on board the station. In addition, crew members set the anchor support platform for a remote workstation on service module “Star”, and also dismounted on the module removable rotary handrail. In addition, Kotov and Ryazan removed the candy bar space experiment “Splash”, with which scientists monitored bursts of high-energy particles in the near-Earth space. The astronauts threw the monoblock itself into outer space. Then Kotov and Ryazansky installed a candy bar experiment “Seismic forecast”, with the help of which the time and spatial scales of the effects of ionospheric disturbances and plasma sign detection algorithms developed earthquakes. In addition, the astronauts removed from the “Star” removable cassette-container with samples of structural materials from which the station consists of. The materials were installed on the housing for studying the effects of outer space on them. To finish all work in orbit was possible only at 01:07 Moscow time on Saturday. Kotov and Ryazansky after going into space feel good flight continues according to the intended program. Previous stay record Russians in space – 7 hours 29 minutes – belonged to Fedor Yurchikhin and Alexander Misurkin. A world record for the duration stays in outer space established by American astronauts Jim Voss and Susan Helms. They were in the airless space nine hours, however, with a break of 2.5 hours, which they spent in the lock chamber.
