NASA is investigating what engineers believe is a false sensor reading that indicated thermal armor on one of the wings of shuttle Atlantis might have been struck by a micrometeorite in orbit.
But John Shannon, chairman of NASA's Mission Management Team, said engineers are discounting the possibility that there was an actual hit because other sensors in the same area didn't register an impact.
"I think characterizing this as an impact hit would be premature at this point," Shannon said in a briefing tonight.
That means it's got a hole in the wing....
Thank you don-o.
