The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced the resumption of astronaut spacewalks from the International Space Station (ISS).

As reported by Ukrinform, this is stated in the press release of the American agency.

“The first of three planned astronaut spacewalks is scheduled to begin in mid-November to continue the installation of deployed solar arrays, called iROSA,” NASA said. Said.

The astronauts’ decision to restart the spacewalk comes after European Space Agency astronaut Mathias Maurer in March concluded an investigation into the cause of the discovery of a thin layer of moisture inside his helmet after repressurizing the station’s airlock after nearly seven hours of work. spacewalk.

The US agency immediately announced the suspension of all future planned spacewalks of the US operational segment until the conclusion of the investigation.

NASA returned the discovered water samples and some of the spacesuits to Earth for detailed analysis.

All in all, everything is fine with the suit itself, and the reason why water got into the helmet was probably the integrated performance of the system, which led to the formation of a larger-than-normal amount of condensation in the system.

As Ukrinform reports, the American space agency NASA plans to launch the Artemis I rocket to the Moon on November 14.
