The International Space Station has two Russian cosmonauts on it.
It was done by Denis Matveev and Oleg Artemyev.
After Artemyev's spacesuit suffered a drop in battery voltage, the pair were forced to cut short another walk.
Artemyev and Matveev were able to complete everything they set out to do during their time outside the space station.
The control panel linked to the European Robotic Arm was moved from one operating area to another. A rigidizing mechanism on the arm was tested by the cosmonauts.
Artemyev and Matveev extended a Strela boom from the Zarya module to the Poisk module during their spacewalk.
The audience could fully understand everything the cosmonauts were doing during the spacewalk, which was broadcasted on NASA's YouTube channel.
A video from the walk shows a view of Earth some 250 miles below the surface.
The spacewalkers have completed their first objective to remove protective covers on the multipurpose lab module and install a platform with adapters. They are now making their way to the second worksite. pic.twitter.com/JhTcNT81y6

The Strela cargo crane is being extended from the Zarya module to the Poisk module.
The cosmonaut spacewalkers are ahead of the timeline and have completed most of their tasks today. The duo is now extending the Strela cargo crane from the Zarya module to Poisk module. https://t.co/yuOTrYN8CV pic.twitter.com/FJX4pe5CT8

Although the cosmonauts will have spent most of their time deep in concentration as they carried out the necessary work, they will also have taken the time to marvel at the changing views of Earth as the International Space Station flies by. The residents of the island experience 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours, and judging by the image, the events are something to enjoy.
There is a recommended video.
