ISS: Volkov Reinstalls Radiation Experiment

The CDR (Volkov) & FE-1 (Kononenko) spent several hours in the DC1 Docking Compartment to reconfigure the Pirs airlock module after the recent EVA-20. The reconfiguring included the re-installation of the MATRYOSHKA-R radiation experiment with its antroph-amorphous (human torso) 'Phantom' setup with 16 passive dosimeters and the LULIN-5 electronics box, which was activated.
