Two Russian cosmonauts are slated to perform a spacewalk based out of the Poisk module airlock of the International Space Station.
This extravehicular activity is expected to involve transferring the portable workstation from the Rassvet module to the Nauka module via the use of the European Robotic Arm. Cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin are expected to perform the planned 6.5-hour spacewalk.
Orbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
