The last I heard, they suspected that damage was caused to the left wing during takeoff two weeks ago.
Something about insulation falling off the booster rockets.
If true, this would mean the time of approach would have had little effect on the outcome.
What they haven't explained is why the heat shielding wasn't fixed prior to re-entry.
