Two Russian spacewalkers exited the International Space Station on June 24, 2013 (EDT) for a spacewalk. One of them is seen at upper right. During the spacewalk, Flight Engineers Fyodor Yurchikhin and Alexander Misurkin will replace a fluid flow control valve panel on the Zarya module, test Kurs automated docking cables for the arrival of a new Russian laboratory module later this year and install clamps to later hold cables bringing power from the U.S. segment of the station to that new Russian module.
