This is a little late but I have been busy, sorry.
On June 24, 2013 at 13:32 UTC Cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Aleksandr Misurkin conducted a 6 hour and 34 minute extra vehicular activity (EVA) or a space walk. During this spacewalk the duo completed a number of objectives:
1. SP RRGh02 Maintenance - Fluid Flow Regulator Replacement
2. KURS Test: The KURS provides the navigation beacon for Russian space vehicles such as the Soyuz and also the European Space Agency (ESA) Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV).
3. Cable Clamp Install they were only able to partially complete this one
4. Indikator Installation on Posik
5. Vinoslivost Retrieval from Poisk
6. Gap Spanner Install on Zevezda (ISS Module, also called the Service Module SM), this was only partially completed
7. Photon - Gamma Retrieval from Zvezda
I don't know what most of these tasks are for or what they are, my area of responsibility is a little different and the truth is, USOS (US side of station) personnel really do not get much training or knowledge of the Russian side of the station outside of their area of responsibility.
