NASA has once again delayed the first spacewalk to deal with the failed pump of the ISS cooling system. Now, that spacewalk is scheduled for Saturday, while a second is slated for no sooner than next Wednesday. NASA says its engineers need the extra day to refine procedures necessary in the repair.
Essentially, the first spacewalk will remove the bad pump and put the replacement in position, while the second will actually connect the new pump to the cooling system.
