NASA calls off spacewalk at last minute as astronaut suit malfunctionsSign up for CNN’s Wonder Theory science newsletter. Two US astronauts abandoned plans to exit the International Space Station to conduct maintenance on Monday due to a spacesuit malfunction. NASA officials called off the spacewalk because of a water leak in the cooling unit of one of the astronauts’ spacesuits. The delayed spacewalk is only the latest in a string of setbacks around operations on the International Space Station in recent weeks. The Starliner spacecraft has been on its first crewed test flight to the space station.
