NASA Astronauts Lose $100k Tool Bag During Spacewalk, Now Visible from Earth

Lost Tool Bag Poses Low Risk to ISS, Expected to Disintegrate in Earth's Atmosphere by March 2024

During a spacewalk on November 1, NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara lost a tool bag valued at about $100,000, which is now orbiting Earth.
The tool bag is bright enough to be seen from Earth with binoculars, orbiting just ahead of the International Space Station (ISS).
Mission Control has determined that the lost tool bag poses a low risk of recontacting the ISS and that the onboard crew and space station are safe with no action required.
The tool bag is expected to remain in orbit for a few months before disintegrating into the Earth’s atmosphere around March 2024.
This is not the first time an astronaut has lost tools in space, a similar incident occurred in 2008.
