A pair of astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) conducted a shortened spacewalk to replace a failed electrical component, in order to restore the station to its full power generation capacity. The spacewalk was the first ever to be conducted by a British astronaut, marking a historic moment for the UK’s space program. However, due to water in Tim Kopra’s helmet, the EVA was terminated early.
