Watch live as Russian cosmonauts step out of the ISS on a spacewalk

Russian cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov will step out of the International Space Station (ISS) to perform a spacewalk on Wednesday.

The trip outside the ISS is the 47th for Russian cosmonauts.

Residents of the ISS are regularly required to partake in spacewalks for maintenance of the space station, which has humans living on-board for the last 20 years.

Mr Ryzhikov and Mr Kud-Sverchkov have been at the ISS for the past 35 days, after launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, along with Nasa astronaut Kate Rubins.
