NASA’s 5 January announcement planned two ISS spacewalks, then added a 7 January notice postponing the 8 January operation. A subsequent station update described a medical concern involving one stable crew member without identifying them. Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman were to prepare the 2A power channel for a future roll-out solar array. A second operation would address camera, navigation-reflector and hose work; its crew had not been announced. Preparation is not array installation, and the original 8/15 January schedule is not evidence of completed operations. Medical details are not inferred. March replanning is retained separately. Reuse of US spacewalk numbers 94 and 95 does not erase this earlier safety-related change.
