After receiving extra information about a late alert particles event on Monday, NASA identified the orbit of the particles does not pose a danger to a set up spacewalk by Thomas Marshburn and Kayla Barron or to International Space Station operations. Postponing the spacewalk supplied a chance for NASA to evaluate the risk from the particles alert. The spacewalk to replace a faulty antenna system on the stations truss structure is now prepared for Thursday, December 2.
