"Nick" on Endeavour window no big deal
Orlando Sentinel
August 16, 2007

Shuttle Endeavour Commander Scott Kelly witnessed a micro-meteorite
debris strike on one of Endeavour's windows this morning.

NASA mission commentator Rob Navias said "it is considered to be a
nick on the window" and "will have no effect on the mission."

Astronauts took photos of the damage and sent them to ground control
for analysis.
