Nasa has found a track

Post by Wolter »

Space shuttle processing crews this week discovered a hole in Atlantis' right-hand payload bay door radiator. The impact occurred sometime during the STS-115 mission last month. The nature of the object that hit the shuttle radiator isn't known. The hit, which left a hole about one-tenth of an inch in diameter, didn't endanger the spacecraft or the crew, nor did it affect mission operations.

They should've known better than to spit out the window at those speeds!

One question comes to mind though,

Why do they classify such a clear track as a ding...??? ;)

And if I were an Astronaut for NASA, My concern would be, If thats just classified as a Ding, What do they consider a hole might be ? :lol:
