Russian cosmonauts went into outer space from the ISS for the first time in 2026.

On May 27, Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergey Mikaev performed a spacewalk from the International Space Station (ISS) for the first time in 2026.

Andrey Fedyaev provides support to colleagues on board the station. He controls an ERA-type manipulator to help Kud-Sverchkov and Mikaev.

Cosmonauts of the Roscosmos state Corporation will perform technical work outside the station. They will install a radio telescope on the Zvezda module weighing about 50 kg as part of the Sun-Terahertz experiment.

Specialists will also remove the third container of the Biorisk experiment from the Poisk module, which spent almost five years in outer space, and dismantle the cassette from the Ekran-M experiment equipment on the Nauka module.

This is the second spacewalk in his career for Kud-Sverchkov, and the first for Mikaev.

Oleg Kononenko, Director of the CPC, talks about why teledroids will be needed on the Russian Federation, and centaur robots on the Moon, and which worlds new astronauts will explore.

Mikhail Kovalchuk, President of the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center, said on April 10 that Russia was the first in everything related to space, except landing a man on the moon. According to him, there is no list of what the Russian Federation was the first in space. He also mentioned that it was the Russian Federation that sent the world's first woman into space, as well as organized a group flight and made the first docking.
