Endeavour spacewalker Rick Mastracchio’s glove incident – which called for the early termination of EVA-3 during STS-118 – was caused by “contact with a sharp edge.” A review is being carried out to pinpoint where the problem area on the station is located.
Meanwhile, the relocation of the PMA-3 (Pressurized Mating Adapter 3) – required ahead of STS-120 – has been completed, and the ISS will not need to make a Debris Avoidance Maneuver (DAM) to miss an old Russian ICBM body.
