Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev was ordered to "drop everything" and return to the safety of the Poisk airlock on August 17th. The incident occurred during a routine spacewalk to install cameras on the European Robotic Arm. The order was given after an astronaut monitoring him spotted irregularities with the electrical signals in his suit. While Artemyev was in no immediate danger command decided not to take any chances and the man made his way back to safety.
