Space Station Live: Flight Director Talks Spacesuit Troubleshooting

NASA Public Affairs Officer Kelly Humphries talks with Flight Director Dina Contella about the troubleshooting efforts on the spacesuit astronaut Luca Parmitano wore during a July 16 spacewalk that was cut short when the helmet began to fill with water. Over the weekend aboard the International Space Station, NASA astronauts Chris Cassidy and Karen Nyberg spent about seven hours replacing components and checking out the suit.

Contella also discusses the departure preparations for the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle, which is set to be unberthed from the station by the Canadarm2 robotic arm on Wednesday.
