NASA suspended spacewalks at the International Space Station (ISS) in June 2024 due to a safety issue with an astronaut's spacesuit. This marked a significant decrease in spacewalks, with only two occurring in 2024 compared to at least 12 each year from 2021 to 2023. The suspension followed a water leak from a spacesuit worn by astronaut Tracy Dyson. NASA has since repaired the suit and is conducting further tests to ensure its safety and reliability. NASA plans to resume spacewalks in 2025, though no specific date has been set. The agency is also considering replacing the aging spacesuit design with a newer, more comfortable model.
