Nasa postpones spacewalk citing ‘debris notification’ for ISS

Postponement comes a day after Nasa official warned of elevated debris risk due to Russian missile test

Nasa has postponed a planned spacewalk outside the International Space Station due to flying debris", two weeks after Russia blew up one of its own satellites in a missile test that created clouds of zooming shrapnel in orbit.

Washington's space agency did not mention the Russian test in its announcement, but a Nasa official had warned a day earlier of a slightly elevated risk to astronauts due to the 14 November incident.
