The New York Times reports Gouge Made by Debris Seen on Shuttle Wing "A piece of [ice] hit the underside of the space shuttle Endeavour during liftoff on Wednesday and gouged a small but potentially worrisome divot in a heat shield tile, NASA officials said yesterday."
It's about 3 inches long on the underside of the shuttle "about four feet behind the landing gear door on the right wing". It will be examined on a space walk and the crew supposedly has the ability to repair it.
