NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson checks the spacesuits of NASA crewmates Michael Barratt and Matthew Dominick during spacewalk preparations on the International Space Station on June 5, 2024.NASA has picked a new date for the spacewalk that was postponed last weekend due to"spacesuit discomfort."

She explained that potentially needing to cancel the EVA once already underway could leave work outside the station in an unfinished configuration, and posed an unnecessary risk to astronaut safety.
