Future Flight Schedule
as of October 5th, 2008
All dates and launch locations should be considered tentative. The WX delay date
is indicated by a "plus" x days indicator i.e. +1 means a one day delay is
available +7 a one week delay is available. An "n" indicates no available WX
delay date.
Tentative flights are those which preliminary planning is taking place but no
firm date has been established. They are marked in purple
text.
Recent changes in RED
NOAA flights are currently on hold and have been moved to
the end of the queue. They will
be postponed until later this year or perhaps early 2009.

Enter your email address above and you will receive
notifications from the
ChangeDetection.com website whenever this page is altered. Instead of
entering your email you can visit the site and read all their privacy info if
you wish. Just copy the URL to this page so that, if you decide to get alerts,
you can paste it into their forms at ChangeDetection.com. Or, if you decide
you trust them, you can just return here and enter your email address.
Be ADVISED, this page sometimes goes through multiple edits in
a single day when initially prepared and when we close in on launch day, I'm
usually informed of any changes and updates that need to be made. So, you can
expect to get a fair number of alerts. Each alert comes with an unsubscribe.
So, if you get tired of being bombarded, stop the monitor.
The
tag for recently edited information will remain in place for a minimum of 24 hours.
After that period the tag will remain in place until new updates to the page are
made. When the new updates are added, the
tags will be moved to indicate that new information.
The
tag will not be removed if there are no other changes to be made to the page.
This will avoid somewhat misleading ChangeDetection notifications (above)
regarding the state of this page.
