Space Shuttle Forced to Dodge Debris
Space Shuttle Discovery from the International Space Station (NASA)
Space Shuttle Discovery had to dodge a “mysterious” hunk of space junk while it prepared for reentry, now slated for this evening at about 7:35 PM EDT.
Here’s the Space.com report.
On the NASA Space Shuttle news page the guess is that the chunk is from one of their own space walks earlier in the mission.
And weather forced a wave-off the first landing try.
