TL;DR Summary

NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara accidentally dropped a tool bag during their first spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS). The bag was lost but poses no risk to the station or crew. The astronauts completed maintenance work on the solar arrays but ran out of time to remove and stow a communications electronics box. The tool bag can potentially be spotted from Earth with binoculars before it disintegrates in the atmosphere. This incident is not the first time astronauts have lost tools in space, highlighting the issue of space debris.
