| The main objective of this EVA was to retract a thermal radiator on theIntegrated Truss Structure segmentP1. This radiator was supposed to be retracted duringExpedition 45's EVA 2 (November 6, 2015) but was not completed. The radiator had been deployed onExpedition 33's EVA 1 (November 1, 2012) in an attempt to isolate a coolant leak. Additional completed tasks included installing HD video cameras on the port/outboard side of the station (one zenith, one nadir), applying additional torque toSARJ bolts, photographing the inside of the SARJ, tying back a protective blanket covering hardware which will be robotically manipulate later, and tying back Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) Cart brake handles to keep them out of the SARJ rotation envelope.[7][8][9] | ||||||
