NASA reschedules ISS spacewalk after astronaut experiences 'spacesuit discomfort'

Three astronauts, two in spacesuits, test spacesuits for a spacewalk on the International Space Station.

NASA has picked a new date for the spacewalk that was postponed last weekend due to "spacesuit discomfort."

NASA astronauts Tracy Dyson and Matt Dominick were set to perform the International Space Station's (ISS) 90th extravehicular activity (EVA 90) on June 13, and had already been outfitted with the majority of their spacesuits when the cancellation call came through about an hour before egress. "When Matt was suited, he experienced some discomfort in the suit," said NASA's ISS program manager Dana Weigel, during a press call Tuesday (June 18).
