| In preparation for the upcoming undocking of the Pirs docking compartment the Strela 1 Equipment Crane was relocated from that module to the Mini-Research Module 2. In addition an experiment module which exposed materials to the space environment was retrieved while another experiment, the Vynoslivost Sample Experiment was installed on handrails on MRM2.
Out of two hardware units for the TEST experiment, just one unit was installed before time for the EVA ran out. The scheduled task to install five shields on Zvezda to shield it from micrometeoroid debris was also cancelled and is rescheduled to be done during the next EVA. |

| During this spacewalk the Strela 2 telescoping boom was relocated from the Pirs docking compartment to the Zarya control module in preparation for the upcoming undocking of Pirs which paves the way for the arrival of the new Russian Multipurpose Laboratory Module in 2013.
The second task was to install micrometeoroid debris shields on the Zvezda service module. Additionally a small satellite was deployed which is used by ground controllers to perform tracking tests used to help tracking actual space debris. Last but not least the spacewalkers added support struts to an airlock ladder and retrieved a Biorisk sample container. Retrieving another example container of a material exposure experiment failed due to a stuck hinge that prevented it from folding close. |

| The main objective for this EVA is to replace the Main Bus Switching Unit (MBSU) 1 which showed preliminary indications of failure in October 2011 with a replacement unit. Furthermore, in preparation of the integration of the new Russian module (the Multipurpose Laboratory Module), some cables will be routed. If time permits, debris and thermal covers will be installed on PMA-2. | |||||
