Thorny - 24/6/2007 12:27 AMVery interesting news! That seems to give them a sporting chance to fly out the manifest before FY11.But there is something wrong with that manifest... STS-119 (July 08) is missing.
And if STS-119 is still on Endeavour, how the devil will they turn around Endeavour to be the Atlantis/Hubble rescue Shuttle by September 17? I think you've got Endeavour where Discovery should be on STS-326/STS-126.

Ben E - 24/6/2007 3:49 PMAlso, why does Discovery require her next OMDP in March 2008 and Atlantis in July 2008? Discovery has only just (well, at the time of STS-114) come out of an OMDP, whereas Atlantis has been flying since 2000.
Bubbinski - 24/6/2007 8:01 AMWhy fly the S6 truss after the STS-126 ULF flight? Maybe the supplies are needed sooner? And only 4 flights in 2008, that's kind of a bummer. Oh well.

Jorge - 24/6/2007 12:38 AMIt's not missing. It has slipped after 126 into 2009 and is now TBD along with the other post-126 flights.
