    Spacewalk called off after suit water leak

    NASA canceled a spacewalk at the International Space Station on Monday after water leaked from an astronaut’s spacesuit.

    Astronauts Tracy Dyson and Mike Barratt opened the hatch to the station’s airlock when Dyson reported water leaking from her spacesuit’s cooling system.

    The astronauts had not floated outside yet and the duo were not in danger, NASA said. Earlier this month, a spacewalk was postponed after another astronaut experienced “spacesuit discomfort”.
