From @kerbiloid's Interfax article:

This -> терраформирования is why English ditched most of its verb conjugations. Instead of saying "terraform", you have to say "terraformirovaniya". The ending is as long as the root. :lol: Just found that funny...

You welcome.

"перетерраформирующего" /pereterraformirujushchego/ = "of something/somebody performing the re-terraforming"

"перепланировывавшему осуществление терраформирования" /pereplanirovyvavshemu osushchestvlenije terraformirovanija/ = "for somebody who was re-planning the implementation of terraformation"

The cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov has caught the part of Nauka which tried to escape during their today EVA.
It was a temporary cup of electrical connector.

The cosmonauts were to take off the connector cups and tie them aside with cables and cup rings.
But they discovered that some cups don't have the rings, so there is nothing to be cabled.

In such case they put the ringless cups into a trash bag.
One cup tried to avoid this and escape. But Dubrov has caught it on the second attempt and finally put in the bag.

The adaptation of Nauka to ISS will require nine EVA seances.
Yes, Frodo, nine.

Three for the Elven-kings under the sky integration.
Three for ERA mounting.
Three for mountin things by ERA.

The ESA crew members will help with the ERA integration.

You do know that that's an extremely strange word to use for "spacewalk" or "session", right? Just thought I'd point it out...

In Russian it's a usual word for EVA or any other purposed activity splitted in parts, a  "session" is much stranger :D.

The cosmonauts failed attachhing the Ethernet cable this time, and will do this during the next EVA session, on September, 9.

It will take seven hours to attach cables (including the Ethernet one) and handrails.

Originally the EVA was planned on 2 and 8 of September, but the latter was postponed at the request of the station partners

They will mount pipes and cables (KAS mod), attach pads for large objects (KIS mod), move the airlock chamber and the radiator panel from Rassvet to Nauka (IR mod or BG DLC).

Rogozin stated that the Soyuz-2 rocket will be used for 9..10 years (i.e. till early 2030s), before getting replaced with methalox Soyuz-7 aka Amur-SPG/Amur-LNG.

(Google can't translate it, while the English wiki version is rather poor.)
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Союз-7_(ракета-носитель)

The Amur-SPG launch will cost 22 mln USD.

Payload: as expendable - 13.6 t, as reusable - 10.5 t.

The maiden flight can happen in 2025. They are developing the engine for it which could be reused up to 100 times.

Rogozin stated that Roscosmos (in collaboration with Rosatom) is going to implement the interplanetary nuclear tug project by 2030.

TEM (Transportno-Energetichesky Modul / Transportation and Energetical Module) will be igniting the nuclear reactor at 800 km height, which is the most safe for such things.

 

Also the PTKNP / Oryol mockup was shown.

Rogozin stated that it will be able to perform 3 lunar flights or up to 10 LEO flights.
Because speed.

Also he stated that the ship is already implemented in metal and maybe first time will fly in 2023.

They write "завершили сеанс выхода в открытый космос" = "they have finished the seance of EVA"

***

Because Russian cosmonauts enjoy the EVA like a movie seance. They have a rest by performing it.
