STS-125 shuttle mission to the Hubble telescope - Launch 9:19 PM CST October 14th. Atlantis shuttle

STS-126 shuttle mission to the space station - Launch 6:07 PM CST November 16th. Endeavor shuttle.

There are currently 2 shuttles on the pad, which is very unusual. STS-125 and STS-400 (Endeavour). STS-400 is the designated rescue shuttle should something go wrong with the shuttle Atlantis (STS-125). Endeavour's on Pad 39b. Atlantis is on Pad 39A. There's no place for the astronauts to camp out at the telescope if something goes wrong with their bird.

This is a 4 day delay. We lost 10 days of simulations due to the hurricane
