The crew of the International Space Station has officially decided to conduct a spacewalk tomorrow, May 11, 2013 in order to address the ammonia leak we reported earlier. The cooling system was losing about 5 pounds of ammonia a day. The 6 person crew aboard the station is reportedly optimistic. Chris Cassidy and Tom Marshburn, two spacewalking veterans from 2009, will perform a visual inspection of the damage.
