Looking like STS-125 is moving to April/May. Will write up the memo content in the morning (as we'll likely have more by then).

They are setting up the destack plan now.

Anyone have any ideas of how this delay will affect Ares 1 test flight and pad transformation?

Pretty severely. Basically, Ares I-X was scheduled for late spring/early summer 2009. It's probably getting shoved as far to the right as STS-125 is; possibly more. Chris, in the article, you mention orbiter swaps for schedule optimization. Any ideas on which missions might trade orbiters?

We're not sure until we see it in a FAWG memo/manifest, but we're reasonably sure STS-128 will be a swap.

Would sts-119 fly before Atlantis?

Will STS-119 use the former STS-125 ET/SRB stack now?

New delievery date for the spare unit for HST is in line with a May launch, as per telecon.

I wonder if the $10M per month to support the launch is still applicable? Or does that drop down to something like $1M?
And one more comment of interest: Would they be inclined to consider preparing Atlantis for SSPTS if she will be used on orbit afterwards?

Bill Gerstenmaier said in the 126 post FRR briefing that was the current plan, which would free up MLP-1 for CxP...

As 125 is launching in May now, is it possible that 128 will still be on target for for July and 127 slipping to June? Or will 3 launches in 3 months be too much?
Also if Atlantis is now launching in May that would rule out the orbiter being used for 128, so I'm guessing Discovery would be next in line for that mission...
I'm looking forward to see what the new manifest will look like. I'm just glad we can continue with the ISS flights as this problem has nothing to do with the shuttle for once!

Purely speculation, but this is what I might expect the initial manifest realignment to look like, taking into account the extended OPF turnaround time for Atlantis after STS-125. *NOTE: This is only my opinion:
STS-119: February 2009 (Discovery)
STS-125: May 2009 (Atlantis)
STS-127: June 2009 (Endeavour)
STS-128: August 2009 (Discovery)
STS-129: December 2009 (Endeavour)
STS-130: February 2010 (Atlantis)
STS-131: April 2010 (Discovery) **
STS-132: July 2010 (Endeavour)
STS-133: September 2010 (Atlantis) **
**STS-131 and STS-133 are the Contingency Logistic Flights.

Except that they might be able to get some of that Atlantis work done between now and the new 125 rollover date, cutting the post-125 turnaround quite a bit.

This speculation is the more realistic and logical one.
I agree at 100%.

Me too.
It just seems weird seeing Atlantis down for the last flight for the first time.
