daver - 15/5/2008 2:56 AMSpacefellowship says that the launch is on May 15th @ 8:00.Is this possible?http://spacefellowship.com/Calendar/calendar.php?mode=view&id=5324
I would not be surprised - based on history - if this flight slips more. Wouldn't be the first time. Even Stuttle is more on schedule than Detla IV.Analyst

It must be a massive program, employing tens of thousands at least. It must cost billions, each year. There must be cavernous satellite factories hidden beneath mountains somewhere. It must be the secret weapon that will find Bin Laden. Maybe it will solve the credit crises and the energy crises and global warming all at once. - Ed Kyle
LOL. Keep in mind this mission has been planned for Titan IV

Keep in mind this mission has been planned for Titan IV, ca. 2003. It can't solve the energy crises and global warming because both were not recognized as problems by then. Oh wait, they are redesigning the super satellite because of these new enemies. Now I have hope again.Analyst

I am quite sure DSP-23 was not the only one left over from Titan.
I don't know...Would be an eight year delay.
How do you guys define "left over"? The TIV program wasn't cancelled abruptly. So were these payloads just planned before the program ended and the assumption was that they would fly on a Titan, or were they actually manifested on a Titan IV?
