The space agency said that the helmets worn by the astronauts have begun filling with water in the last few months.

Space agency officials said that after the helmet filled water incident with the European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Matthias Maurer following a March 23 spacewalk, NASA will now perform an assessment of its extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) spacesuits, a Space.com report mentioned.

The helmet filled with water has put astronauts in potentially life-threatening scenarios as they attach to the space station's exterior 250 miles above Earth.

This is not the first time that an astronaut’s helmet has filled with water.

But the recent incident of the astronaut’s helmets filled with water started the discussion and investigation over the issue again.
