ISS Coolant Leak

Ammonia has been detected leaking from the coolant system of one of the solar power arrays of ISS.  NASA says the crew is in no danger, but engineers are still working on what caused the leak and what to do about it.

The crew has already been twittering that it will perform an emergency spacewalk Saturday to attempt to repair the leak, but NASA management has said no final decision has been made.
