Apparently NASA has advised there wasn't enough space left in the cargo bay in the shuttle to bring it back, as such the next best option was to dump it. Its expected to stay up there for about 300 days before it will start to re-enter the atmosphere. Meanwhile, they continue to track it.

Admittedly I was disappointed in NASA's stance, but I guess that applies to the other Space agencies too.
