[b]Spacewalk Mishap Investigation Board Report[/b] NASA today (Feb. 26) [URL=http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/files/Suit_Water_Intrusion_Mishap_Investigation_Report.pdf]released the findings[/URL] [PDF] of an investigation into the July 2013 spacewalk at the International Space Station when water built up in astronaut Luca Parmitano's spacesuit helmet. Soon after the incident, NASA created a Mishap Investigation Board to identify factors that may have contributed to the incident and recommend changes that could be implemented to prevent a similar situation from occurring again. This safety investigation ran concurrently with an engineering study into the equipment failure. NASA is concluding the mishap investigation and will share the board's detailed report of evidence and lessons learned with human spaceflight stakeholders inside and outside the agency. Information from the report will be integrated into the engineering investigation and directly benefit the ongoing search for a root cause.
