We have been working to align flight dates with ET delivery dates. Want to make sure manifest is accurate for budget planning,\u2019 said Hale in the latest Shuttle Stand-up\/Integration Report.<\/font><\/p>\n \u2018ISS has considerable constraints on manifest, including times when Soyuz must fly and when Soyuz must be relocated from one point to another. The manifest posted on the web page represents much work to accurately reflect the constraints. A CR was submitted for evaluation to move up the STS-117 launch date one day to March 15th.\u2019<\/font><\/p>\n While the manifest reflects the slip of STS-123 to January \u2013 as part of the aforementioned ISS\/Soyuz conflict \u2013 such slips aren\u2019t made official until nearer the launch date. This prompted the comment from Hale that if there is a chance Discovery could launch at the end of December, then YERO (Year End Rollover) will come into play \u2013 which is continuing to undergo evaluations by NASA.<\/p>\n \u2018There were negotiations on flights occurring late in the year. There is a significant probability that the December flight could slip out a couple weeks, so year end rollover capability must be useable,\u2019 Hale added. <\/p>\n \u2018(We\u2019re) off to a great start this year. It is going to be an outstanding year.\u2019<\/font><\/p>\n While the manifest is constantly evolving \u2013 as it has over the life of the shuttle program \u2013 it currently reflects the continuation of the 4.5 flights per year which NASA has been able to achieve since Columbia made her debut on STS-1.<\/p>\n However, the return to regular flights of the shuttle \u2013 which had its foundations laid in the second half of 2006 \u2013 still faces challenges on every launch, as Griffin emphasized the \u2018minor miracle\u2019 of continuing to safely carry out the hardest thing humans have yet learned to master.<\/font><\/p>\n \u2018I have consistently said that if we could take the time necessary to get things going properly that we could get back to our historical operational tempo of 4.5 launches per year on the average that we would easily finish the Station by the time it was necessary to retire the Shuttle,\u2019 Griffin noted. <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018I think we are now demonstrating that, with out deeds \u2013 rather than our words, and let people see what we could do. <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018I think we are in fact better than before, because I think we have a new understanding in this country and in the space community that each and every time we do this it is a minor miracle. It is the hardest thing that humans beings have yet learned to do. It is extraordinarily difficult to do it and to get it right. <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018We\u2019ve learned again (STS-107), in a very sad fashion, that it is a dangerous and difficult activity, and that we have to stay hungry all the time for new data and new lessons. <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018This is an enterprise that is right on the cutting edge of what is possible for human beings to do at all.\u2019<\/font><\/p>\n In ISS related news, the spacewalk to cut free the troublesome antenna on the Russian Progress re-supply ship (M-58\/23P) has been moved back to being a Russian EVA on the Station. Initially \u2013 and inexplicably \u2013 the effort was listed as an American EVA.<\/p>\n <\/font>However, the latest On Orbit Status Report (Jan 10) now lists the EVA as Russian, with a new date of February 26. Three other EVAs on the ISS, which will take place over the space of just over a week, have also been given new dates, with US EVA 6,7 and 8, moving to January 31, February 4 and February 8 respectfully.<\/font><\/p>\n Below is the current FAWG\/Shuttle and NASA\/ISS Launch Schedules and Manifest \u2013 in listed text form.
