Russian Vehicle Delivers Spacesuit Repair Kit To ISS

Posted by timothy on Saturday July 27, 2013 @08:40PM from the why-didn't-they-pay-the-$4-for-overnight? dept.

A Russian spacecraft has successfully delivered new supplies to the ISS. Crucially, its payload is meant to prevent a repeat of the aborted spacewalk of earlier this month. Says the article:: "The cargo ship is loaded with nearly 3 tons (2.7 tonnes) of food, fuel, hardware and science experiment equipment for the six-person crew of the station's Expedition 36 mission. Among its cargo is a set of tools intended to help the astronauts investigate and patch up the spacesuit that malfunctioned during a July 16 spacewalk outside the orbiting laboratory."

That's why I'll never accept a job as an astronaut. Why take a job were you have to wear a suit?
