I can't see free drift causing the problem, of it being late. Since it was in free drift then the solar panels wouldn't be locked with the sun, and other things being effected because the station oritation control was off. I would have more to do with an increase in drag, or the did a orbital burn. Did they preform a burn ? I don't rember seeing a burn to be planned.

It was 2 minutes late(I use a pretty good watch which is updated daily so it isn't a problem of timing). Is this have to do with the free drift that is reported earlier?
