In preparation for the three spacewalks to fix the cooling system on ISS, NASA is improvising an anti-drowning system in the spacesuits. During the latest spacewalk, the helmet of one astronaut began to fill with water, so NASA is inserting a tube connected to the oxygen supply into the helmet that will allow astronauts to suck in oxygen if water rises into the helmet.
The space agency is now acknowledging an urgency in fixing the cooling system.
