KOROLYOV, Moscow Region. Nov 23 (Interfax-AVN) - Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin and NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria have played golf during their space walk, an Interfax-AVN correspondent reports from Russia's Mission Control Center outside Moscow.
An experiment as part of the Golf project dominated the agenda of the International Space Station (ISS) crew's space walk. The experiment, which was recorded by a video camera, was conducted as the request of a firm that produces sport equipment.
Tyurin hit a golf ball which will now cover tens of thousands of kilometers before burning up in the atmosphere.
