19 Jun 2014 14:10 7h 24m O.Artemyev and Skortsov; mission Soyuz TMA-12M; Exp. ISS-40
1st [of 2] EVA of the expedition ISS-40. The 43rd EVA from airlock Pirs.
The primary objectives of the spacewalk were focused at servicing the exterior of the Zvezda service module and the experiments mounted in that location. The two spacewalking cosmonauts installed an automated phased antenna array (AFAR), which will serve as part of the Russian command and telemetry system. They also relocated a part of the Obstanovka experiment - which is used to monitor the presence of charged particles and plasma in the environment of Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Other tasks included verifying the correct installation of the universal work platform (URM-D), taking samples from one of Zvezda′s windows, and jettisoning an experiment frame.
18 Aug 2014 14:02 5h 10m O.Artemyev and Skortsov; mission Soyuz TMA-12M Exp. ISS-40
2nd [of 2] EVA of the expedition ISS-40. The 43rd EVA from airlock Pirs.
The cosmonauts deployed a nanosatellite, installed two experiment packages (EXPOSE-R and Plume Impingement Deposit Monitoring) and retrieved others (CKK#1, Vinoslivosk and Biorisk). In addition they installed holder on Automatic Phased Array (AFAR) antenna, took surface samples from a window on Zvezda and photographed Multi-Layer Insulation from the exterior of the Russian ISS segment.
15 Aug 2018 7h 46m O.Artemyev and S. Prokopyev; mission Soyuz TM-08 Exp. ISS
The duo released four tiny satellites into Earth orbit, installed antennas and cables on the Zvezda service module and retrieved experiments that analyzed external station surfaces and observed plasma waves, and installed an experiment called Icarus onto the Russian segment of the space station.
18 Apr 2022 6h 37m O.Artemyev and D. Matveyev; mission Soyuz TM-21 Exp. 66
Both installed and connected a control panel for the European robotic arm, a 37-foot-long (10.6 meter) manipulator system mounted to the recently arrived Nauka multipurpose laboratory module. They removed protective covers from the arm and installed handrails on Nauka.
28 Apr 2022 7h 42m O.Artemyev and D. Matveyev; mission Soyuz TM-21 Exp. 66
The duo jettisoned thermal blankets used to protect the arm during its July 2021 launch with Nauka. They also flexed the arm's joints, released launch restraints, and monitored the arm's ability to use two grapple fixtures.
21 July 2022 7h 05m O.Artemyev and S. Cristoretti; mission Soyuz TM-21 Exp. 66/67
They continued preparing the ERA manipulator for operation and launched 10 small spacecraft - two Tsiolkovsky-Ryazan satellites and eight YuZGU-55 satellites created by Russian students.
17 August 2022 4h 01m O.Artemyev and D.Matveyev; mission Soyuz TM-21 Exp. 66/67
They continued work on integrating the European remote manipulator ERA into the Russian segment of the ISS.
02 Sept 2022 7h 47m O.Artemyev and D.Matveyev; mission Soyuz TM-21 Exp. 66/67
The primary objectives of the spacewalk were to relocate an external control panel for the arm from one operating area to another and test a rigidizing mechanism on the arm that will be used to facilitate the grasping of payloads.
Total: 53h 32m EVAs: 8
