TL;DR Summary

Two cosmonauts from Russia's Roscosmos will conduct a spacewalk today to investigate a coolant leak on the International Space Station (ISS). The leak, which occurred on the Russian side of the ISS, is suspected to have originated from a radiator on the new Nauka science module. The spacewalk will also involve the installation of communications hardware and the release of a nanosatellite. NASA has postponed two of its own spacewalks as a precaution, but officials have emphasized that the ISS crew is not in danger. The investigation into the leak is ongoing, and the spacewalk can be watched live via NASA Television.
