NASA Tracks Mystery Object Near Atlantis Shuttle

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA mission controllers are tracking a mystery object hovering between the space shuttle Atlantis and Earth, and traveling at roughly the same speed as the orbiter, agency officials said Tuesday.
“Right now they’re just tying to figure out exactly what it is, how far away it is,” NASA spokesperson Kimberly Harle told SPACE.com. “It’s pretty much assessing the whole situation.”

COOL!!! We need pic's

even if they confirm it to be an alien craft they will down play it and call it space junk.

Brown is likely behind this somehow! :mad:

How did the Mexicans get into space?

They heard there was work on the space station. :rollside:

lol, do you think they hopped into the back bed of the shuttle and hung on real good :p

I would have taken that bet. It only took 7 posts on the thread below for someone to post a pic of the gun they would use to shoot any alien that tried to break into their house.

This has the movie "Mars Attacks" written all over it. They are coming.

Just as long as they leave that fr :220v: eaky chick looking one with the big hair on the mother ship!

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA shuttle managers are deciding whether simple camera views, a third heat shield survey or possibly even a spacewalk may be required to address a mystery object near the space shuttle Atlantis that has already delayed the spacecraft’s landing.
“We have ruled out nothing and we’ll take the time that it needs to take,” NASA’s shuttle program manager Wayne Hale told reporters today. “We’ll come back and maybe have a little better gelled plan later this afternoon.”
A press briefing featuring the heads of AtlantisÂ’ STS-115 Mission Management Team is expected no earlier than 6:00 p.m. EDT (2000 GMT) with additional details.
“The question is 'What is it?'” Hale said, adding that the object – which appeared small and dark against a blue Earth in video – could be something as simple as ice or a piece of harmless shim stock plastic known to be dangling from Atlantis’ heat shield. “Is it something benign like that, which we have seen before, or is it something more critical that we should pay attention to?”
Shuttle flight controllers at NASAÂ’s Johnson Space Center in Houston spotted the object floating between Atlantis and the Earth early Tuesday, just after the orbiterÂ’s six-astronaut crew put their vehicle through a standard pre-landing shakedown to test thrusters, hydraulics and a number of other systems.
“We shake the ship pretty good,” Hale said of the flight systems check, adding that about 15 minutes after the 2:30 a.m. EDT (0630 GMT) check today a flight controller spotted a small object in Atlantis’ vicinity and backlit by the Earth.
“It could be a little something up close or a bigger something a little farther away, it’s a bit of a mystery,” Hale said of the object. “We’re principally going about the task of making sure that the orbiter is safe for reentry and landing regardless of what that may have been.”
The mystery object conundrum, coupled with anticipated poor weather at the Shuttle Landing Facility here at NASAÂ’s Kennedy Space Center during AtlantisÂ’ initial 5:58 a.m. EDT (0958 GMT) arrival time, prompted mission managers to forgo a Wednesday landing altogether to settle the issue, Hale said.
Shuttle crew notified
Atlantis’ STS-115 astronaut crew – commanded by veteran shuttle flyer Brent Jett – is slated to go to sleep at about 1:45 p.m. EDT (1645 GMT), and have already been told of the landing postponement.
“We’re going to wave off for tomorrow,” NASA astronaut Terry Virts, serving as spacecraft communicator, told Atlantis’ STS-115 crew, adding that potential use of the shuttle’s robotic arm or inspection boom is a possibility on Wednesday.
Mission controllers did ask the Atlantis astronauts to prime the shuttle’s robotic arm system to allow its “elbow” camera to be used in a video survey.
Jett later reported the sighting of an object by STS-115 mission specialist Daniel Burbank, which the crew took photographs of as it drifted away.
“It was definitely moving away,” Jett told Virt, adding that the object was fairly small, moving away from Atlantis at a clip of about one to two feet per second at a seemingly constant rate. “I was able to get several shots.”
Engineers and mission planners will work through the afternoon to develop a plan for either additional surveys, inspections or other required work for the STS-115 crew, Hale said. That work could go on well into the crewÂ’s evening, and potentially until Jett and his crewmates are scheduled to awake at 9:45 p.m. EDT (0145 Sept. 20 GMT) tonight for their next day of orbital work, he added.
