Mark, how much spacewalks (three?) are planned in STS-115 mission and what pairs of astronauts (Tanner/Stefanyshyn-Piper or Burbank/MacLean, or Tanner/Burbank) will conduct their?...
Beforehand thanks for the answer!...
I find some earlier documents where are four space walks are planned. Now are only three planned. Does anybody know why?

The original flight plan had four EVAs with the EVA crewmembers as follows:
EV1 Joseph Tanner, EV2 Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, EV3 Daniel Burbank, and EV4 Steven Maclean
With all my attention on 121 I have not seen an updated plan so I can not tell you how things have changed yet...keep in mind this crew has been training for YEARS now.
If I get a copy of the flight plan anytime soon I will update you unless someone else does it first.

Do they plan to lift the daylight launch rule for STS-115?

I believe Wayne Hale at one of the more recent briefings said that requirement would remain for at least one more flight after 121...really want to get another good look at tank performance.

After 115 it will be lifted if all goes well.
Currently, STS-116 is a night launch at 8:45pm ET Dec. 13.

Here is the Space Shuttle Status Update from KSC PAO:
Mission: STS-115 - 19th ISS Flight (12A) - P3/P4 Solar Arrays
Vehicle: Atlantis (OV-104)
Location: Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1
Launch Date: No earlier than Aug. 28, 2006
Launch Pad: 39B
Crew: Jett, Ferguson, Tanner, Burbank, MacLean and Stefanyshyn-Piper
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
Technicians are performing powered-up system testing on Atlantis for its mission to the International Space Station. Technicians continue installing tires on the shuttle's main landing gear.
Work continues on the alignment of the manipulator positioning mechanisms. The positioning mechanisms are the pedestals that hold the orbiter boom sensor system in place in the payload bay while the boom is not in use. Thermal protection system tile, blanket and gap filler work is ongoing.

Launch Pad: 39B

Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
Technicians are carrying out powered-up system testing on Atlantis for
its mission to the station. Workers continue to perform water coolant
loop samples.
The remote manipulator system, or shuttle robotic arm, is scheduled to
be installed early next week. The shuttle arm maneuvers a payload
from the payload bay of the orbiter to its deployment position and
then releases it. The arm can also grapple a free-flying payload,
maneuver it to the payload bay of the orbiter and berth it in the
orbiter.

You are right. Now they focus on STS-121. The reports will be rare in the near future. Lets hope there is one tomorrow.

They send out one weekly update for all shuttles on Friday, they would not send one separate (let alone on a Saturday!)

They sent out the Shuttle Status report.....but only covered Discovery! Nothing on Atlantis or Endeavour.

It happens on a day like today, where there's a big milestone for the next launch...wouldn't be surprised if the status report is mostly about the rollout next Friday (assuming it stays on schedule).
It was often like this during countdowns back when they did daily updates...those were the days...

I think SRB stacking for the Atlantis/STS-300--Atlantis STS-115 mission begins in the first few days of June.
