A spacewalk planned for Tuesday to repair a faulty antenna on the International Space Station was postponed indefinitely, Nasa said, citing a “debris notification” it received for the orbiting research laboratory. “Nasa received a debris notification for the space station. It was not made clear how close debris had come to the space station, orbiting about 402km above the Earth, or whether it was related to the Russian missile test. The objective is to remove a faulty S-band radio communications antenna assembly, now more than 20 years old, and replace it with a new spare stowed outside the space station. The four arrived at the space station on November 11 in a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule.
