Re: ISS spacewalk, satellite to be released?
The Radioskaf site lists Radioskaf-3 to commemorate 55th aniversary of Sputnik. But doesn't reference a satellite called Sphere.
See http://tinyurl.com/Radioskaf-3
Currently manufactured "Radioskaf-3". This is the working name of the satellite, to be launched in honor of the 55th anniversary of the launching of the first artificial Earth satellite. This is an exact replica of the satellite, but modern components, plus on-board scientific instruments will YUZGU students. "Radioskaf-4" - follow-on satellite programs. The development of the satellite units are students from various universities in Russia, Peru and Jordan. Starting in 2013 with the ISS. It is possible that the shell satellite (support structure) will again who served the Russian space suit, but does not exclude the possibility of placing the equipment in the hexagonal case. "Radioskaf-5" - a project of the future satellite (the one in the photo below).

Although of course Sputnik was a sphere and as Radioskaf-3 is an exact duplicate I guess that must be the satellite.

Regarding the deployment Spaceflightnow says
"following which the satellite will stay on-orbit for around three months, during which time it will be used by Russian ground forces to evaluate ground station tracking and orbital debris decay models."
