RELEASE : 08-167 NASA Sets Launch Dates for Remaining Space Shuttle Missions

HOUSTON -- Following a detailed, integrated assessment, NASA selected target launch dates for the remaining eight space shuttle missions on the current manifest in 2009 and 2010. The manifest includes one flight to the Hubble Space Telescope, seven assembly flights to the International Space Station, and two station contingency flights, planned to be completed before the end of fiscal year 2010. The agency previously selected Oct. 8 and Nov. 10 as launch dates for Atlantis' STS-125 mission to service Hubble and Endeavour's STS-126 / ULF-2 mission to supply the space station and service both Solar Alpha Rotary Joints on the port and starboard end of its truss backbone that supports equipment and solar arrays.


May 31 -- Endeavour's (STS-133 / ULF-5) 25th mission will carry critical spare components that will be placed on the outside of the station. Those will include two S-band communications antennas, a high-pressure gas tank, additional spare parts for Dextre and micrometeoroid debris shields. At least three spacewalks are planned to be carried out by the crew, which has yet to be named. The 15-day mission will be the 35th to the station.

STS-133 (ULF5) is a contingency mission which, if flown, would be the final mission of the Space Shuttle program, which will deliver the final components of the International Space Station and the third and fourth EXPRESS Logistics Carrier.

The mission, scheduled to be flown by the Space Shuttle Endeavour with a No-Earlier-Than (NET) launch date May 31, 2010, would mark the completion of the International Space Station, the final flight of Endeavour, and last flight in the Space Shuttle program.










From 2/6/2004 ( my final day working at Microsoft Corporation with my official United States federal undercover identity ) to 5/31/2010 ( planned launch date for final space shuttle flight ) is: 2306 days

2306 = 1153 + 1153

From 4/12/1981 ( I was the commander aboard the STS-1 Columbia spacecraft ) to 6/8/1984 ( premiere US film "Gremlins" starring my wife ) is: 1153 days










From 11/5/1965 ( fictional date setting in 1986 film "Top Gun" for when "Maverick's" father disappeared during war ) to 6/8/1984 ( premiere US film "Gremlins," suggesting "gremlins" were after me again and why I was the target of hostile action while performing my official U.S. federal duties ) is: 6790 days

6790 = 3395 + 3395

What happened to your father?.

:45:59
I figured with your security clearance
you'd know more about it than I do.

:46:06
Well, I didn't get that far.

:46:12
It's a big mystery.

:46:15
He disappeared in an F-4,
November 5th, 1965.

:46:23
The stink of it was ... he screwed up.

:46:28
No way.
My old man was a great fighter pilot.

:46:36
But who the hell knows?
It's all classified.

:46:42
- Somebody must know.

- Yeah, somebody knows everything.
