 NASA Television to air June 24 space station spacewalk

*NASA Television* will provide live coverage when two members of the
Expedition 36 crew venture outside the International Space Station on
Monday,
June 24.

The pair will conduct a six-hour spacewalk in preparation for the addition
of a new Russian module later this year.

NASA TV coverage of the spacewalk by Russian flight engineers *Fyodor
Yurchikhin, RN3FI*, and *Alexander Misurkin* will begin at 9 a.m. EDT.
Yurchikin and Misurkin will begin the spacewalk about 9:35 a.m. when they
open the hatch to the space station's Pirs docking compartment and float
outside.

They will replace a fluid flow control panel on the station's Zarya module
and install clamps for future power cables as an early step toward swapping
the Pirs airlock with a new multipurpose laboratory module. The Russian
Federal Space Agency plans to launch a combination research facility,
airlock and docking port late this year on a Proton rocket.

Yurchikhin and Misurkin also will retrieve several science experiments on
the outside of the Zvezda service module.

The spacewalk will be the 169th in support of space station assembly and
maintenance, the sixth for Yurchikhin and the first for Misurkin.

Yurchikhin will wear an Orlan-MK spacesuit with red stripes while Misurkin
will wear a suit with blue stripes. Both spacewalkers will be equipped with
NASA helmet cameras to provide close-up views of their work.

This is the second of up to six Russian spacewalks planned for this year.
Two U.S. spacewalks by NASA's Chris Cassidy, KF5KDR and Luca Parmitano,
KF5KDP of the European Space Agency are scheduled in July.
