ISS008-E-15890 (15 February 2004) --- This image was taken from the International Space Station (ISS) Feb 15 and shows a small piece of debris reported by the Expedition 8 crew. The debris, which has been identified as a two-inch "eyebolt" from a solar array on the Progress cargo craft that recently docked with the Station, drifted slowly away and posed no problems for the complex. The eyebolt is from a system that is used with the arrays during the Progress' launch and serves no function after the arrays are deployed in orbit.
