[i]We attempted on Monday to go out on spacewalk with with Tracy and Mike, and we ended early due to a water leak at the service and cooling umbilical unit that was attached to Tracy's suit. After she detached it, it started leaking, and so that led to a lot of water in the airlock. The team continues to investigate what was going on with that [and] what caused it. When we came back inside, we weren't able to recreate that failure. So we're continuing to look at that. Given that, we're currently targeting the end of July for our next EVA. So we want to give the team enough time to go understand what happened on this one and make sure we don't have to make any changes. That spacewalk will actually be a different one than what we were trying to do on this last one. We're going to go out and relocate a communications antenna. We'll conduct some preparatory work for the alpha magnetic spectrometer, looking at some changes that we are going to make to that one down the road. We're going to replace an array gyro assembly, and then we will actually try to conduct some swabs of the outside of the space station looking for microorganisms.[/i]
