Then the next: STS-123 launch now scheduled for 3/11/08. It'll carry the first part of the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) lab module to the station. Big sucker. LONG mission - 17 days minimum. If it launches 3/11, I'll be COD Mission Manager for the first 6 days (The guy who's turn it is will be in Hawaii...)

STS-124 launch scheduled for 4/24/08. I'm COD Mission Manager for this one.

STS-125 launch 8/7/08, but we're thinking of slipping it to 8/28/08. This mission is going to the Hubble telescope to make modifications so we can get a few more years of use out of it.

STS-126 launch scheduled for 10/16/08.

STS-119 scheduled for 12/4/08. I'm COD Mission Manager for this one.

The flight numbers were assigned years ago for specific missions and crews. 119 just got postponed.
