A native of Turkmenistan, Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub went into outer space for the first time in 2024

On April 25, 2024, cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub made the first spacewalk this year, reports vedomosti.ru.

Their main tasks were the installation of the scientific equipment "Kvarts" and "TKK-KM" on the "Poisk" module, and the full deployment of the second panel of the small-sized radar of the "Napor-miniRSA" experiment on the "Science" module.

If there was time, it was planned to dismantle one of the two containers of the Biorisk-MSN scientific equipment at Poisk and deploy a pressure and sediment control unit, as well as take swab samples from the surface of the Nauka module (Test experiment).

The duration of the exit was 6 hours 36 minutes. Kononenko worked in the Orlan-ISS spacesuit No. 5 with red stripes (for him this is the 7th spacewalk), Chub - in a spacesuit with blue stripes (for him this is the 2nd spacewalk).

The broadcast was broadcast on the YouTube channel of the Roscosmos state corporation.

This was the first spacewalk for Russian cosmonauts in 2024.

Oleg Kononenko was born and raised in the east of Turkmenistan, in Turkmenabat. In 2019, he was awarded the title of Hero of Turkmenistan.
