Kodak paper Photo, size  8” x 12” signed by cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov Soyuz MS-13, Expedition 60/61

On the photo cosmonaut Skvortsov posed with Fyodor the robot.

FEDOR, colloquially known as Fyodor the robot is a Russian humanoid robot that replicates movements of a remote operator and can perform some actions autonomously.

Originally intended for rescue operations, it was sent on an experimental mission to ISS in 2019.

FEDOR is an acronym for "Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research" and a hint to the Russian male given name Fyodor (Фёдор) when transliterated without diacritics.

On 22 August 2019, a FEDOR robot was launched on Soyuz MS-14 to the International Space Station. The plan was for the robot to spend a week and a half aboard the orbital outpost.

The model going to space was given the name Skybot F-850.

On 24 August 2019, the Soyuz failed to dock as scheduled with the station, due to a fault with its rendezvous system.

On 27 August 2019, it successfully docked with the Zvezda module of the station.

On 30 August 2019, FEDOR successfully matched plug connectors while weightless, simulating the repair of cables on the station's exterior surface during a spacewalk.

On 6 September 2019, the reentry capsule of the Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft, with FEDOR on board but no crew, landed in the designated area in the steppes of Kazakhstan, south-east of the city of Zhezkazghan.

On 11 September 2019, "Russian robot Fedor cannot fulfill his mission to replace human astronauts on space walks", Yevgeny Dudorov, executive director of robot developers Androidnaya Tekhnika said.
