They tested a method of repairing possible damages in the shuttle while in orbit.

She'll be comin' to the planet when she comes
She'll be comin' to the planet when she comes
She'll be right on trajectory
In her dangerous re-entry
Hopefully there'll be no debris
When she comes!

Originally posted by stren Can anyone explain what was that thing that hit the wing, was it serious and how they repaired it, etc.

I dont think anything really hit the wing, there was something that fell off on takeoff, but i dont think it hit anything. Due to that falling off, the fleet is grounded again.

While in orbit, they noticed some liner was loose on the bottom of the ship. There was a spacewalk where one of the astronauts went under the shuttle and ripped off the liner.
