3rd Space Station Assembly Flight
ISS-2A.2a
The ISS orbit was boosted by 30 miles, new batteries installed, fans
for improved air circulation installed, and a loose crane secured.
A damaged tile seam caused a breach which allowed superheated gas to
enter the left wing during reentry. The gas did not penetrate deeply and the damage was
repaired.
