A scheduled all-female spacewalk has been cancelled by NASA because of a lackof spacesuits in the proper size
A scheduled all-female spacewalk has been cancelled by NASA because of a lack of spacesuits in the proper size.
Koch will now be partnered with male astronaut, Nick Hague. The pair will be working to install powerful lithium-ion batteries for the International Space Station during their mission. It will be the second spacewalk of a series of three that NASA has planned. The problem is, Koch wears the same size — and only one medium-sized torso component is readily available on the space station.
— Anne McClain March 25, 2019 The New York Times, quoting a NASA spokeswoman, reported that there are two medium-sized torsos currently on the ISS but “one has yet to be properly configured for a spacewalk. It would take hours of crew labor — not to mention some additional risk — to fix that in time” for Friday’s mission.
