During liftoff several pieces of insulation foam from the external tank hit the heatshield. One of them created a small puncture. Astronauts then inspected the puncture throughout the rendezvous with the ISS. The damage was minor and was not dangerous. Similar damage caused the Columbia disaster in 2003.
