CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - The abrupt abort of an ambitious spacewalk from the International Space Station was caused by a stuck switch and not a dangerous oxygen leak, NASA said on Friday.

American astronaut Michael Fincke, making his first spacewalk on Thursday, was outside the airlock for less than two minutes before Russian ground controllers ordered him to return, along with Russian colleague Gennady Padalka.

Mission Control in Moscow detected a drop in pressure from Fincke's primary oxygen tank, which might have indicated a dangerous leak.

But NASA said on Friday that an auxiliary switch for feeding oxygen to the Russian suit had been left in an "on" position, even though an indicator showed it was "off."

Fincke tested the switch before leaving the airlock and returned it to the off position, something confirmed by an indicator light in his helmet, NASA said, but for some reason the mechanism stuck


проблема оказалась в лампочке для переключателя выпуска воздуха

Fincke потестировал переключатель и поставил его в закрытое состяние - что было подтверждено лампочкой... но по чему то переключатель не переключился...

короче ничего страшного - выйдут скоро - только морально подготовяться... и это переключатели будут дергать аккуратно
