This pic was taken a few days ago as ESA’s Paolo Nespoli helped in preparations for today’s spacewalk. Later today, 17 August, Paolo will assist cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergei Ryazansky as they leave through the Station’s Pirs airlock at about 10.45 EDT/16.45 CEST to deploy several nanosatellites, collect research samples and perform structural maintenance.

Today, together with Fyodor and Космонавт Сергей Рязанский, we did the dress rehearsal for their next #spacewalk: everything looks good and we are ready!
