ISS EVA 23 Lessons LearnedRoughly 44 minutes into EVA 23, ESA Astronaut Luca Parmitano reported water inside his helmet on the back of his head. The EVA ground team, Luca and his spacewalking partner Chris Cassidy were unable to identify the water’s source. As they continued to work, the amount of water in Luca’s helmet increased and eventually migrated from the back of his head onto his face. EVA 23 was terminated early and the crew safely returned to the Space Station. What started as a normal EVA day on ISS became one of the most serious mishaps in the history of Spacewalking.
