The primary objective of the spacewalk was to install a new stanchion for high-speed telemetry equipment, which was accomplished efficiently by the cosmonauts. They also jettisoned old equipment, including a spent science experiment that had been installed outside the Zvezda service module almost 10 years ago, and captured high-resolution photography of the boom upon which a high-data antenna is mounted at the very end of the Zvezda module.
