Citando:
"After removing the old, obsolete electronics box from the antenna—an original part, launched in 2000—Misurkin shoved it away from the space station. The bundle tumbled harmlessly away, 250 miles above the North Atlantic.
The 60-pound box—measuring just a couple of feet, or less than a meter—was hurled in a direction that will not intersect with the space station, according to NASA officials.
While the Russians routinely toss old equipment and used towels overboard during spacewalks, NASA prefers to secure no-longer-needed items or, if possible, bring them inside. Except for SpaceX's cargo ships, empty supply capsules are filled with trash and set loose to burn up in the atmosphere. The discarded electronics box will re-enter and burn up, too; Mission Control said it did not know when that will occur."
