Watch as a Roscosmos cosmonaut SergeyProkopyev launches a 5-kilogram piece of redundant ISS hardware into the abyss during a spacewalk on Wednesday.
Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin embarked on a spacewalk at the International Space Station at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday to relocate an experiment airlock from the Rassvet module to the Nauka science module.Related Videos One notable clip shows Prokopyev launching a 5-kilogram piece of redundant hardware into the abyss. The good news is that the garbage won’t become yet another piece of hazardous space junk as it’s destined to burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Jettisoning an object from the space station is actually a delicate process as doing it incorrectly could send it on the wrong path and even cause it to crash into the ISS, which is orbiting Earth at a speed of around 17,500 mph. Engle said that having a discarded object come back and hit you was “a frightening possibility in the weird realm of orbital mechanics.”
