Water Leakage Incident Leads to Excursion’s Cancellation

As per recent reports, it has been revealed that NASA was forced to cut down a spacewalk due to water leakage incident.

Luca Parmitano, European Space Agency astronaut, was having a spacewalk with U. S. astronaut Chris Cassidy. It was then that water from Luca's water bag got collected in his helmet's back.

Within no time, water started floating into his eyes. It was then that the flight directors immediately stopped the excursion. It has been revealed that both the astronauts are well and face no problem.

NASA mission commentator Dan Huot said that they have asked the team to be cautious in future. While talking about the incident, Huot said that Luca was asked to go back to U. S. Quest airlock.

But it got revealed that water has destroyed communication system of Luca. As soon as Luca was back into the suit, other astronauts came and took off Luca's helmet. They have even soaked water blobs that have floated from the helmet through the help of towel.

"Great job getting those guys out of their suits in a timely manner", said Mission Control. Photographs were taken of Lucas suits so that any problem that they have missed can be spotted in photos.
