 NASA delays Thursday spacewalk due to crew medical issue


NASA has postponed a planned spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS) that was scheduled for Thursday after a medical issue arose affecting a crew member. The agency said the situation is stable, but did not disclose which member of the four-person SpaceX Crew 11 team is involved. A new date for the spacewalk has not yet been announced.

Astronauts Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman were slated to conduct the walk, which would have been Fincke’s tenth and Cardman’s first. The mission was intended to prepare the ISS for the future installation of Roll-Out Solar Arrays, which are designed to provide additional power to the station and support the safe, controlled de-orbit of the orbital laboratory. Both astronauts are part of Expedition 74, an international crew that began in early December and will remain aboard the ISS through the summer. A second spacewalk had previously been planned for January 15.
