NASA plans to resume ISS spacewalks in 2025 after coolant leak repairs

NASA will restart spacewalks on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2025 after a coolant leak halted them in June. The leak occurred during a planned spacewalk but did not pose any danger to the astronauts. The agency replaced the faulty seal and umbilical on the spacesuit, allowing it to repressurize successfully. NASA's operations manager stated that the timing of future spacewalks will depend on spacecraft schedules and astronaut research activities. NASA is also seeking new spacesuit designs from private companies, as the current suits are outdated and primarily fit larger male sizes. Collins Aerospace withdrew from a contract to provide new suits, leaving NASA to determine its next steps.
