Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Ground team specialists assisting Russian cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Denis Matveev during their work in outer space spotted a strange object near the solar panel of the International Space Station’s service module on Friday.<\/p>\n

“We are observing some kind of object through the camera above the far end of the solar array.<\/p>\n

We would like to ask you to see what it is,” a ground specialist told Artemyev. The cosmonaut did not understand what object the specialist was talking about.<\/p>\n

Then the specialist of the Mission Control Center added that it was a “free-flying object” and not something located directly on the solar panel. After Artemyev was unable to locate it, the specialist suggested that he continue working according to the plan.<\/p>\n

“All right, Oleg, let’s not waste time,” the specialist said.
\nArtemyev and Matveev began their six-hour spacewalk earlier on Friday to continue preparing the ERA manipulator, installed on the Nauka module, for operation.<\/p>\n
