On Wednesday morning's news, they reported discovery of a fiberglass fiber
on the sattelite's trunion pin, and this was the cause of the inability to
dock.  They also showed some film of the astronauts rehearsing the repairs
(I had been out of the room, but rehersal became obvious when a flock of air
bubbles rolled past the camera lens).  The repair is sufficently large (at
least working inside a space suit) that they are expected to be exhausted at
the end of the day.
