The spacewalk had been running slightly behind its expected beginning at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) due to some small issues with tethers and other matters, but that was within normal range until the duo reported ice crystals (water) coming from the spacesuit. "The spacewalk for today has been canceled due to a space suit cooling unit water loop leak that began right after the suits were put on internal battery power," an announcer on NASA Television said shortly after the spacewalk was canceled.
