CORRECTION:  The press conference is next Friday, October 26, not today.  

An ammonia leak on one of the International Space Station's (ISS's) radiators means that NASA astronaut and ISS commander Suni Williams and Japanese astronaut Aki Hoshide will be taking another spacewalk very soon.   NASA will hold a news conference at 1:00 pm CT (2:00 pm ET) on Friday, October 26, to discuss those plans.

The spacewalk is scheduled for November 1.
