NASA Faces Challenges with Aging ISS and Spacewalk Equipment

NASA is addressing safety concerns related to the aging International Space Station (ISS) and its extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) spacesuits, which have been in use since the 1980s. Recent issues include a coolant leak during a planned spacewalk and a persistent leak on the Russian side of the ISS. NASA and Roscosmos are managing these challenges while planning for future commercial space stations and next-generation spacesuits. Despite these issues, NASA emphasizes safety and collaboration with Russian counterparts.
