Two Russian cosmonauts made an out-of-this-world handoff of the Olympic torch at the start of Saturday’s spacewalk. Seen here in the capture from NASA TV, Expedition 37 Flight Engineer Oleg Kotov (holding the torch at left) brought the torch out of the International Space Station and passed it to Flight Engineer Sergey Ryazanskiy. The torch was returned to the ISS and the cosmonauts were expected to spend five additional hours conducting maintenance activities.
An icon of international cooperation through sports competition, the Olympic torch arrived at the space station Thursday aboard a Soyuz spacecraft carrying three new crew members – Expedition 38 Flight Engineers Mikhail Tyurin, Rick Mastracchio and Koichi Wakata. On Sunday, the torch will return to Earth aboard another Soyuz spacecraft vehicle along with Expedition 37 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Flight Engineers Karen Nyberg and Luca Parmitano.

The spacewalk is a high-flying extension of a relay that will culminate with the torch being used to light the Olympic flame at the Feb. 7 opening ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
