Briton Tim Peake's spacewalk has ended after a water bubble was reported in the helmet of his fellow astronaut.
NASA tweeted that the mission had been terminated due to a "small amount of water" in Tim Kopra's helmet.
The two astronauts had already successfully restored full power to the International Space Station (ISS) by replacing a broken electronic box.
But after Kopra reported the bubble, Mission Control decided to cut the six-hour spacewalk short - ending it after four hours and 10 minutes.
Both astronauts were safe, according to the ISS.
"So far, I'm ok," Kopra assured everyone.
Later, he said the water bubble was four inches long and getting thicker.
Live footage showed both astronauts safely returning to the airlock area of the ISS and the thermal cover being closed behind them.
Once in the main body of the station, their colleagues inside will help with a 25-minute clean-up and further checks.
NASA stressed that the situation was not an emergency.
Tweeting from its official account, NASA said: "As a precaution, spacewalk terminated due to small amount of water in Tim's helmet."
Later, the ISS tweeted: "@Astro_Tim & @Astro_TimPeake thank ground support after wrapping up #spacewalk and completing major installation."
Earlier Major Peake, from Chichester, West Sussex, told of his pride in stepping into space with the Union flag on his space suit.
He is on a six-month mission with the European Space Agency (ESA).
As he prepared to exit the air lock at the start of spacewalk, one of Major Peake's colleagues, Commander Scott Kelly, remarked it was "really cool" to see the Union flag outside.
