Mir News 266: 1st Spacewalk (EVA) Mir-19 crew Program: Mir. Flight: Mir EO-19.
Solovyov and Budarin made their 1st EVA on 14.07.1995 from 0356-0930 UTC. They fully performed their tasks. They found no pollution or damages on the outside of the docking mechanism of the -Z axis. They deployed the jammed solar array on Spektr with the exception of 1 section. The solar array has now been included in the power supply system of the complex. They also worked at a solar array of Module-D and an antenna.
Redocking of the Kristall-module:
Kristall has been moved from the forward port (-X axis) to the side port (-Z axis) on 17.07.1995 between 0230 and 0400 UTC. The redocking took place by the use of the 'lyappa'. a manipulator arm. So Kristall is now in the right position to receive the Atlantis (STS-74) and the new docking module in October 1995. On 17.07.1995 during the pass in orb. 53761 at 0554 UTC Solovyov reported that the airseal of the system after the redocking was normal.
