<\/font>**LIVE news updates on Endeavour STS-123 Flight Day Specific**<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\nRPM images, downlinked from the ISS during Flight Day 3, have been evaluated, though the Mission Management Team (MMT) were already looking at one specific area \u2013 the OMS Pods. <\/p>\n
Though not a concern for damage, due to the timing of the event, the T+10 second event \u2013 first revealed by this site \u2013 has been cleared from being an impact on the orbiter. Though it is still not know what the object is, video of the incident has been evaluated to show it passed behind the shuttle during early ascent. <\/p>\n
