A six-hour spacewalk has begun today by two cosmonauts, for which they moved out of the International Space Station.

The aim of the cosmonauts, Fyodor Yurchikhin and Alexander Misurkin, as per the findings, is the testing and upgrading of systems on the exterior of the exterior lab.

The Russian cosmonauts floated out at 9:32 a. m. EDT. It is being said that for the two, it is the sixth career spacewalk. A total of 31 hours and 52 minutes of spacewalk time has been logged by Yurchikhin.

It is being expected that the cosmonauts would gauge automatic docking cables with a hope to see a new Russian module. The same has been scheduled for later this year to show up at the station.

The plans of the cosmonauts also include installing clamps, by which cables would be held from the U. S. side of the station. This side would control the new module on the lab's Russian side.

The report found that the spacewalk could be watched live by one and all on NASA TV's website. The same is to begin at 9 a. m. EDT.

"To save the time, I'm embroidering. It's not easy to handle all these ropes. OK, now we're doing beadwork", said a spacewalker.
