Maybe they’re trying a new level of efficiency... 

You see, Ivan, when deorbit Old space station on top of new module, is save on launch cost!

The Nauka module will get to the Moon on its brand new fusion drive.

According to wiki,

Signal Conditioning Electronics (SCE) system

Quote

In electronics, signal conditioning means manipulating an analog signal in such a way that it meets the requirements of the next stage for further processing. Most common use is in analog-to-digital converters.

So, as far as i can see, it would be something like АЦП (/ah-tseh-pEh/, analogovo-tsifrovoy preobrazovatel', analog-to-digital converter).
Aux[illiary] - ВСПОМ (/fspOm/, vspomogatel'niy) or ДОП (/dOp/, dopolnitel'niy)

So, "SCE to AUX" ~ "АЦП в ДОП" /ah-tseh-pEh-v-dOp/

They’d have to alter their ponderous production plans. Hopefully they’ll manage to launch Nauka in the next decade.

Launch soon.

I was wrong here, their coverage should start soon, but they have the livestream on for over an hour for some reason.

Launch time: 1742 GMT (1:42 p.m. EDT)

The mecha anthropomorphic robot FEDOR /'fjodor/, which is going to fly to ISS in Soyuz MS-14 in August, appears to be too wide in shoulders to pass through the Soyuz airlock door.
Currently they are making his shoulders narrower,

Though it matches the pilot seat geometry.

The ship will be uncrewed crewed by the robot and have no life support equipment.
It will test new flight control system. Launch vehicle is Soyuz 2.1a.

P.S.
Why did they return Ripley? They could make a robot family.
