Hey Space Placers!

UPDATE: The crew has successfully swapped out the original ammonia coolant pump and replaced it with a spare. NASA expects to hold a news conference at 4:30 p.m. EDT

Today, May 11, the astronauts aboard the International Space Station are conducting an emergency spacewalk to repair an ammonia coolant leak that was discovered on Thursday.
