DEBRIS: US Spacewalk 83 canceled due to orbital debris threat

Today's spacewalk was canceled due to the threat from a piece of orbital debris which is predicted to pass within 1/4 mi of the ISS. The ISS will perform a Debris Avoidance Maneuver with the docked Progress spacecraft's thrusters, to move out of the way of the debris. The astronauts were already suited up and in the airlock, but they will come back in and remove their suits.
This is happening exactly 1 week after a Russian spacewalk was canceled due to a major Soyuz coolant leak due to a presumed orbital debris or meteoroid strike.
