Gap in Atlantis' Thermal Blanket Studied

In this image from NASA-TV, the Earth and the payload bay of the space shuttle Atlantis is shown on Saturday, June 9, 2007. With a 4-inch gap in the space shuttle Atlantis' heat-protecting blanket not appearing to be an urgent problem on Saturday, the crew readied themselves for what NASA called a delicate ballet with the international space station. Then the shuttle will enter a weeklong embrace Sunday with the orbital outpost. (AP Photo/NASA-TV)
