Thank you very much. You're very kind. Mission Endeavour Look here for the latest news from NASA's STS-97. NASA mission managers delayed the deployment of the second wing after an identical array bunched up and bounced back and forth during a 14-minute deployment sequence late Sunday. It was pretty dynamic there for a while.
Engineers think some of the blanket panels stuck together inside their storage box.
The arrays remained folded up within the box for nine months prior to Endeavour's Nov. 30 launch. Despite the flawed deploy, the first solar wing is generating electricity as expected. Mission managers still are trying to decide whether the astronauts should try to tighten the slack blanket. Tanner and Noriega will scale the station during the spacewalk Tuesday to examine the loose cables. It should be exciting of we try it.
