Overview

  • The Thursday spacewalk to finish preparing a power channel for a new solar panel was postponed, with the excursion originally planned for about six and a half hours.
  • NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman had been slated to conduct the EVA from the station’s airlock.
  • NASA says one ISS crew member has a medical concern, is in stable condition, and will not be identified due to medical privacy.
  • Mission managers are assessing contingencies, including a possible early end to the Crew-11 mission, with further details to follow in the near term.
  • Crew-11 comprises Fincke, Cardman, Kimiya Yui and Oleg Platonov, who arrived in August, and a separate Jan. 15 spacewalk remains on the schedule with no changes announced.
