Ukusakazwa bukhoma kohambo lwasemkhathini kuzoqala ngo-6 ekuseni ku-NASA Television, ohlelweni lokusebenza lwe-NASA, kanye newebhusayithi ye-ejensi.
I-Expedition 66 Commander u-Anton Shkaplerov kanye Nonjiniyela Wezindiza uPyotr Dubrov waseRoscosmos bazoqala uhambo lwasemkhathini oluhleliwe lwamahora ayisikhombisa ngokuphuma kumojula yePoisk ohlangothini olubheke emkhathini lwengxenye yesiteshi yaseRussia. Phakathi nohambo lwasemkhathini, ama-cosmonauts azofaka ama-handrails, izimpondo ze-rendezvous, ikhamera yethelevishini, nezinto ezihlosiwe zokumisa ku-Prichal, ezinamathele ngokuzenzakalelayo kumojula yaselabhorethri yezinhloso eziningi yaseNauka ngoNovemba.
Umkhumbi-mkhathi we-Soyuz othwele osonkanyezi abathathu, abazoba yingxenye yabasebenzi be-Expedition 67, ungowokuqala ohlelelwe ukuma ku-Prichal, ohlelelwe uMashi.
UShkaplerov uzosebenza njengelungu le-extravehicular crew 1 (EV1) futhi uzogqoka isudu yasemkhathini ye-Orlan enemigqa ebomvu. U-Dubrov uzogqoka isudi yasemkhathini enemigqa eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka njengelungu le-extravehicular crew 2 (EV2). Lokhu kuzoba uhambo lwesithathu lwe-spacewalk emsebenzini ka-Shkaplerov kanye nolwesine lwe-Dubrov. I-spacewalk yokuqala esiteshini ngo-2022 izophinde ibe yi-246th spacewalk yokuhlangana kwesiteshi sasemkhathini, ukunakekelwa, nokuthuthukiswa.
Uhambo lwasemkhathini olwengeziwe luhlelelwe kule ntwasahlobo ukuze kugqokiswe ingalo yerobhothi yaseYurophu elabhorethri yaseNauka futhi kuvulwe ukuvala umoya kwe-Nauka ngomsebenzi wokuhamba emkhathini wesikhathi esizayo.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- The first spacewalk at the station in 2022 also will be 246th spacewalk for space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.
- Expedition 66 Commander Anton Shkaplerov and Flight Engineer Pyotr Dubrov of Roscosmos will begin the planned seven-hour spacewalk by exiting the Poisk module on the space-facing side of the station’s Russian segment.
- During the spacewalk, the cosmonauts will install handrails, rendezvous antennas, a television camera, and docking targets on Prichal, which automatically docked to the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module in November.
