No Damage To Space Station

Space Shuttle Atlantis has been cleared for next Friday's launch. NASA managers have signed off on the cargo run to the International Space Station, and the final flight in the shuttle program. Atlantis will be delivering a year's worth of food, clothing, science equipment and supplies to space station. Meanwhile, as the space station prepared for Atlantis' arrival, there was a threat of impact from space debris. The crew had to seal themselves in the Soyuz capsules, which serve as lifeboats. The debris whizzed by - about 1,100 feet away. No damage.
