CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA, Aug 17: Two Russian cosmonauts floated outside the International Space Station yesterday to set up power and ethernet cables for a new research laboratory scheduled to arrive in December. Flight engineers Fyodor Yurchikhin and Alexander Misurkin opened the hatch on the station’s Pirs airlock at 10:36 a.M. EDT (2006 IST) to kick off a 7-hour, 29-minute spacewalk, the longest ever by Russian cosmonauts. (agencies)
