Jim, in the Mission Model Assumptions document there are listed 1 through 11 missions.  These missions are dated 2012 through 2015.  In terms of space hardware lead times the first few are to be launched "soon".  I would think that they are already funded with, if nothing else, start up monies.  Is there a one to one corresponding to already announced missions that we, the general public, has knowledge about?  If so is there a way to link missions 1 through 11 to a mission name?  TIA

Jim,
observing the above manifest, I noted that there is a Firm TBD(DH) originally scheduled for 10/15/2008.
I suspect that this was the original launch for LRO, now switched to an Atlas V.
Can you confim my supposition?
Thanks.

Ten launches in 2009, but only one in 2010.  

I would be willing to bet that the actual launch record will not, in the end, show ten launches in 2009 and only one in 2010!
