I thought it was interesting that you have mentioned this.

There have been several "unknown" viruses and even some bacteria found to be "living" in the extreme upper limits of our atmosphere.

Who can say what effects some of these could have once they were let loose on the general populations of earth.

exactly, although the dead rising is actually impossible as their blood would of coagulated and would be unable to transport oxygen around the body, but like i said, the rage zombies from 28 days later could be possible

I was reading and found this:

You mean the International Space Station right? I don't remember a mission to UARS.

I am not one to to believe anything is impossible. That being said it is highly unlikely. Any virus's would burn up on rentry I think. Far more likely we would get a someone will splice the rabies virus and make it far more contagious. Though that does not make a true Zombie ( dead men walking) it would create a rabid human who would rather chew you to shreds with his teeth then shoot at you. Would be more like 28 day later then a Romero movie. Hopefully they won't be spitters. The thought of surviving the first few weeks then accidently getting a little spit on me and changing into a deranged psychopath is most unpleasant.
