Astronauts on spacewalk accidentally drop tool bag which can now be seen from Earth
The pair concluded their maintenance work outside the International Space Station in six hours and 42 minutes, according to the space agency.
The spacewalk on Nov. 1 saw Moghbeli and O'Hara complete works on the station's solar arrays, which track the sun, but they ran out of time to remove and stow a communications electronics box. Leaving this task for a future spacewalk, the pair instead conducted an assessment of how the job could be done.
During the hourslong mission, a tool bag gave them the slip and was "lost," NASA said, with flight controllers spotting it using the ISS' external cameras. Fortunately, the tools were not required for the remainder of their tasks.
"Mission Control analyzed the bag's trajectory and determined that risk of recontacting the station is low and that the onboard crew and space station are safe with no action required," NASA said on its official blog.
