Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin exited the Poisk module at 11:00 p.m. Moscow time (2000 GMT) on Wednesday and started their extravehicular activity. The main task of their seven-hour-and-11-minute spacewalk was to relocate an airlock chamber from the Rassvet module to the Nauka module, using a robotic arm controlled by another Russian cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev inside the ISS. The cosmonauts encountered some difficulties when trying to connect the chamber to Nauka due to a misalignment of docking units. They managed to fix the problem with the help of ground specialists and successfull
