In either case, the footage will be filmed over the course of a year and then returned to Earth aboard either a Russian Soyuz spacecraft or a U.S. space shuttle.
Also on tap during the spacewalk: The retrieval of two Russian flag placards that feature a paint being tested for its ability to withstand the harsh space environment.
The flag placards are to be replaced with a Russian "commercial experiment" that is believed to involve mounting Kodak signs as part of a July 2000 agreement between the U.S. imaging company, NASA, the Russian Space Agency and RSC-Energia, among others.
As part of the deal, the Russians agreed to deliver, install, manage and operate cameras inside and outside the Zvezda crew quarters. Still and video images then will be published on a yet-to-be-launched web site dubbed EyeOnSpace.com.
The idea is to document the assembly of the station as well as operations on the outpost once construction of the complex is completed around 2006 or 2007.
NASA role in the agreement: Ferrying a Kodak digital camera up to the outpost. In return, the agency will use EyeOnSpace.com data and images to assist the agency's space station mission operations team.
A source familiar with planning for the spacewalk said the two cosmonauts are expected to set up the Kodak placards during the six-hour excursion.
A Kodak spokesman said the placement of the placards was part of the July 2000 deal but could not confirm that the work would be carried out during Monday's sortie.
For NASA's Russian station partners, the Kodak deal is just one of several recent commercial endeavors carried out on the Russian segment of the outpost.
A visiting cosmonaut crew filmed a commercial for Radio Shack and carried out marketing work for Pizza Hut, Popular Mechanics and The Lego Co., during a Soyuz lifeboat swap-out mission in May.
Monday's spacewalk will be the second of three planned for the Expedition Three crew, which launched to the station in August and includes U.S. astronaut Frank Culbertson.
Culbertson and Dezhurov plan to finish outfitting the exterior of the Pirs module during the third excursion, which now is scheduled to take place Nov. 5.
Another visiting Soyuz crew, meanwhile, remains scheduled to launch to the station Oct. 21 on a mission aimed at ferrying a fresh Soyuz emergency rescue vehicle to the outpost.
Flying with French Space Agency astronaut Claudie Haignere, Victor Afanasyev and Konstantin Kozeev will spend a week onboard the station before returning to Earth Oct. 30 in the Soyuz spacecraft now parked at the outpost.
Culbertson and his crewmates will remain on the station until their replacements - Russian cosmonaut Yuri Onufrienko and U.S. astronauts Daniel Bursch and Carl Walz - are launched aboard shuttle Endeavour on Nov. 29.
Four shuttle taxi drivers will drop off the Expedition Four crew and then return to Earth Dec. 10 with Culbertson and his colleagues.
