  • EVA ISS VKD-36 - . Crew: Kotov, Ryazansky. EVA Duration: 0.24 days. Nation: Russia. Program: ISS.

    The crew exited the station via the Pirs module. They carried an Olympic torch for a publicity event. The Yakor platform was removed from Zvezda's transfer compartment but could not be attached to the VRM/URM-D articulating mount on side IV of the main part of Zvezda, and was brought inside instead. A piece of equipment called DPN was be removed from the VRM (it was installed on the EVA in August 2013). The RK-21-8 Radiometria experiment installed on 2011 Feb 16 on another URM-D experiment mount on side II of Zvezda was disconnected, but the astronauts had trouble stowing its deployed panels.

2013 December 27

  • EVA ISS VKD-37 - . Crew: Kotov, Ryazansky. EVA Duration: 0.34 days. Nation: Russia. Program: ISS.

    The crew installed two video cameras from the Vancouver-based company UrtheCast. After struggling with the cabling on the medium resolution camera, the astronauts jettisoned the UrtheCast MRC cable reel and an obsolete space science experiment, Vsplesk. The new Seismoprognoz experiment launched on Progress M-21M was installed on Zvezda to replace Vsplesk. It was then reported that the UrtheCast cameras were not working correctly, and the astronauts were ordered to dismount them and bring them back inside.

2014 January 27

  • EVA ISS VKD-37a - . Crew: Kotov, Ryazansky. EVA Duration: 0.26 days. Nation: Russia. Program: ISS.

    The crew performed a rerun of December's attempt to install the UrtheCast video cameras outside the Zvezda module. This time the cameras were left outside, and the high resolution camera was returning telemetry; the medium resolution camera, however, is still not working.
