Russian Cosmonauts Perform Spacewalk Outside ISS
Two Russian Cosmonauts went on a spacewalk outside the International Space Station in preparation for the arrival of a new Russian module, Wednesday, June 2.

This marks the sixth spacewalk of 2021, but the first for Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy and Pyotr Dubrov. (REUTERS)
