Atlantis inspected for damage while chasing Hubble

A NASA graphic shows an impact event believed responsible for damage along an area of about 21 inches (53 cm) spanning four of space shuttle Atlantis' thermal tiles in this image from NASA TV May 12, 2009. Shuttle Flight Director Tony Ceccacci said that upon an initial look, damage found during the inspection appeared to be minor and likely not a concern. [Agencies]
