Two USA astronauts canceled their spacewalk on Monday due to a spacesuit malfunction
NASA called off the spacewalk because of a water leak in the cooling unit of one spacesuit
This leak affected NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson's suit just before they exited the space station
Cooling units on the spacesuits keep astronauts at a comfortable temperature during spacewalks
Dyson felt warm but comfortable and noted concerns about the water leak affecting electrical connectors
NASA ensured Dyson safely returned inside the space station while her suit remained on battery power
The crew was not in danger during this incident. Spacewalk was planned to last about 6.5 hours.
This was the second spacewalk in recent days which was canceled due to spacesuit issues
