Russian cosmonauts launch small satellite during spacewalk.
On August 18, 2014 two Russian cosmonauts Aleksandr Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev onboard the International Space Station (ISS) hand-launched a miniature satellite during a multi-hour spacewalk.
The nano-satellite NS-1 was placed on orbit during the spacewalk by Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev. The 1.5-kg device was launched in the interests of the “Energy” space-rocket corporation to test the micro-electronics and optical equipment.
The spacewalk started at 14:02 UTC and lasted 5 hours and 10 minutes. Beside the NS-1 launch, the cosmonauts were also conducting a range of maintenance and servicing work on the ISS outer surface.

The 3rd space flight of Cygnus completed.
On August 17, 2014 at13:15 UTC the "Cygnus” (CRS-2) unmanned supply spacecraft was deorbited. The spacecraft re-entered the atmosphere and burned up over the South Pacific Ocean.
Packed with trash and other equipment tagged for disposal, an Orbital Sciences Corp. “Cygnus” spacecraft plunged back into the atmosphere over the uninhabited Pacific Ocean, concluding a one-month mission to resupply the International Space Station. The re-entry occurred east of New Zealand two days after the Cygnus spacecraft was released from the space station's robotic arm. It was the third flight of "Cygnus” to the ISS.
