Nasa’s First All-female Spacewalk Scrapped for Spacesuit Issue

Two astronaut Christina Koch and Anne McClain ware about to making history. But unfortunately it was not their day. Astronauts had been scheduled to step outside the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday to install batteries.

Then they realize they both needed a medium-size spacesuit and only one was ready for use. Astronaut Anne McClain who trained in both medium- and large-size spacesuits. But after actual spacewalk, she realize medium-size suit fitted best for her.

So with new plan Christina Koch will use the mid size suite and go for the spacewalk another male astronaut Nick Hague instead. Anne McClain used that same suite last week for another spacewalk. Nasa has two medium-size hard upper torsos on the ISS but only one of them has been properly configured for a spacewalk.
