NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara accidentally dropped a toolbox during their first ISS spacewalk this month. They were working on the station’s solar arrays, which track the sun, but they ran out of time to remove and safely stow a communications electronics box, called the Radio Frequency Group.
There wasn’t enough time during the spacewalk to complete the work, so the two astronauts lifted some multilayer insulation to make a better assessment of how to approach the job on a future spacewalk. This was when one tool bag was inadvertently lost.

Flight controllers spotted the tool bag using external station cameras. The tools were not needed for the remainder of the spacewalk. Mission Control analyzed the bag’s trajectory and determined that risk of recontacting the station is low and that the onboard crew and space station are safe with no action required,” said NASA.
