CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- A spacewalk to install a module on the international space station was rescheduled Sunday because a German astronaut fell ill, NASA officials said.
NASA spokesman John Shannon said another member of the crew will stand in for German astronaut Hans Schlegel who is suffering from a "medical issue," CNN reported Sunday.
Astronauts commonly experience nausea and sickness following a launch and Shannon said the undisclosed illness would not "impact the objectives of this mission."
U.S. astronaut Stan Love will replace the 56-year-old Schlegel, who is on his second space trip. Officials rescheduled the space-walk for Monday.
NASA officials briefed reporters Saturday on their assessment of two areas on the space shuttle Atlantis possibly damaged during Thursday's launch.
