Russian cosmonauts performed 2nd spacewalk to install cameras.
On January 27,
2014 Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy performed a spacewalk
to install a pair of video cameras on the exterior of the International Space Station.
The
spacewalk began at 18:10 Moscow time. The cosmonauts, Oleg Kotov and Sergei
Ryazanskiy, installed high- and medium-resolution cameras outside the "Zvezda”

The 2nd “Cygnus” private spacecraft arrived at space station.
On January 12, 2014 the American "Cygnus” private unmanned supply spacecraft was docked to the International Space Station (ISS). The Cygnus spacecraft was grappled by a robotic arm operated by astronauts inside the space station at 11:08 UTC. The cargo spacecraft was docked to the station’s "Harmony” module. The official time of capture of the "Cygnus” with the Harmony module's common berthing mechanism was 13:05 UTC.
The spacecraft delivered 1,460 kilograms of supplies to the Space Station. Among them the "Cygnus” delivered 33 tiny CubeSats to the space station. During the spacecraft's stay, the astronauts will move the miniature satellites into the station for release in February from the Japanese "Kibo” module using a specially-designed CubeSat deployer at the end of the Japanese robot arm.

Private U.S. cargo spacecraft launched to Space Station.
On January 09 at 18:07 UTC the "Cygnus” privately owned U.S. unmanned supply spacecraft was launched from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Island off the U.S. east coast., Va., USA.
The "Cygnus” unmanned supply spacecraft, built by U.S. space firm Orbital Sciences Corp., was orbited by the company's "Аntares” rocket-carrier on its first cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. The spacecraft has been named for Gordon Fullerton, the late NASA astronaut and research pilot who helped to deploy air-launched Pegasus rockets built by Orbital Sciences Corporation while he was a pilot at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center.
The spacecraft is carrying 1,260 kilograms of supplies to the Space Station, including food, spare part and science experiments, 23 of which are from U.S. and Canadian students.

Russian cosmonauts performed a spacewalk.
On December 27, 2013 Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy performed a spacewalk to replace equipment on the outside of the International Space Station.
The spacewalk began at 13:00 UTC when the cosmonauts opened the hatch of the Russian "Pirs” module of the International Space Station. The cosmonauts, Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazanskiy, installed equipment on the hull of the space station including high-resolution cameras to photograph the earth and a foothold for use in future spacewalks. They also detached an old experiment module and threw it overboard into open space. The spacewalk is Kotov’s fifth and Ryazansky’s second.
The spacewalk lasted 8 hours and 07 minutes. The 8-hour 07-minute duration set a new Russian spacewalk record, eclipsing the old mark of seven hours and 28 minutes set by two cosmonauts outside the ISS On August 16, 2013. Two NASA astronauts hold the record for longest spacewalk ever condu

US spacewalkers completed coolant system repairs.
On December 24, 2013 US astronauts Richard Mastraccio and Michael Hopkins performed a spacewalk.
The spacewalk began at 11:53 UTC. Two astronauts successfully installed a replacement coolant pump aboard the International Space Station, completing a high-stakes two-spacewalk repair job and clearing the way for flight controllers to re-activate a critical coolant system.
The spacewalk lasted 7 hours and 30 minutes.
