Dezhurov and M.Turin, additional handrails were installed on the outer surface of the Pirs module, electrical connectors on the cables of Transit-B radio telemetry system designed for communicating with cosmonauts in space suits during EVA were connected between this module and transfer compartment of Service Module Zvezda; a docking target and rods with antennas of the rendezvous and docking system Kurs were installed.
Commander of ISS-3 crew, US astronaut F. Calbertson monitored the performance of these operations from inside the station, moving as necessary, between pressurized compartments of US segment of ISS and Functional Cargo Module Zarya.
Upon completion of the EVA the space station systems were returned to their initial condition.
