Postponement of NASA Astronauts' Spacewalk

NASA has decided to postpone the third attempt for two American astronauts to conduct a spacewalk from the International Space Station. Astronauts Ricy Dyson and Matthew Dominic are testing the functionality of spacesuit systems, which involve dismantling a faulty communication unit in space and conducting research to determine whether microorganisms can survive outside the International Space Station. Their exit was scheduled to last for 6.5 hours. Initially, the astronauts were set to go into space on June 13, but NASA postponed this due to issues related to the spacesuits. The second attempt was made on June 24, but after 31 minutes outside, they returned to the station. NASA announced that the operation could not proceed due to a buildup of water in one of the spacesuits. It is noteworthy that the water leakage in the suit’s cooling circuit began immediately after the suits were powered by internal batteries.
