While checking NASA TV, I think I heard Capcom tell the spacewalker (Ed Lu ?), who had the cover attached to him, he could get rid of it without problem. This cover was light brown and measured around 1.5 to 2 feet in diameter. The high drag term (.01576580) would be consistent with a large area to mass ratio (How is that for my first orbital analysis ?!!!).
