Probably GRAIL will slip also to October.According to MSDB, they have been split.

Probably GRAIL will slip also to October.According to MSDB, they have been split.Which makes no sense as LADEE is desighned to make use of the execcess capability of the GRAIl launcher.Also MSDB is not always correct - they has also for years the TWINS payloads manifestesd to Pegasus, which they never were.
I can only work using the information I am given, and MSDB explicitly states: "LADEE...Separated launch from GRAIL; Launch date Late 2011."Maybe one of the spacecraft has grown too big for dual launch, even on DIIH, and they don't want to use an EELV.

Now that the RBSP mission launch is taking clarification:October - RBSP - EELV - Canaveral?I continue to have many doubts about the following:2012 - Geospace RBSP - Taurus - Vandenberg - ??2012 - Geospace RBSP - Taurus - Vandenberg - ??Am I wrong?
What about the range conflict, between NRO L-26 and STS-126 Endeavour?I hope that the priority will be for the Shuttle!

According to MSDB, the launch on Delta IV-NRO L-26 is NET 16 November.
