Space shuttle mission extended to fix thermal blanket
NASA extended Atlantis mission from 11 to 13 days to repair a peeled thermal blanket over a 4 by 6 inch engine area. Engineers doubt debris caused the looseness, and decisions on timing for a third or fourth spacewalk hinge on balancing risk and ground repair needs. Astronauts Reilly and Olivas conducted a 6 1/2 hour spacewalk to attach a 35,000 pound power segment to the station, providing about 14 kilowatts of new solar power.
