Astronaut Accident Leads To Object Lost In Orbit

The occurrence can be chalked up to a rookie mistake by NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara who were taking a stroll outside the International Space Station when the incident went down. It was the debut spacewalk for both women and, as they were carrying out their mission of fixing a certain piece of machinery, gravity (or rather the lack-there-of in this case) took charge and carried the toolbelt away.

Luckily, after digging into the incident, Mission Control found that the bag wasn’t a major cause for concern, with it being incredibly unlikely that it would come back to interfere with a crew member or the station. It was also reported that, while the astronauts were using the tools in the toolbag, they weren’t necessary for what the team had in store for the remainder of their travels.
