NASA Watch: Shuttle launch tomorrow at 228PM (tenative) - Atlas Launch delayed until Tuesday.

The Atlas satellite launch got pushed back this weekend and it then got bumped because they didn't want to put both on the same day (tomorrow).

This reportedly will be the last shuttle mission to the ISS - after this all crew changes are supposed to be on Russian rockets until they can bring Ares on line.

I don't think they should sideline the shuttle personally.

1. this is not the last shuttle mission to ISS

they have 6 to go including tomorrows launch. They have a few ISS modules to add before the shuttle retires or gets a extension.
I personally dont want the shuttle to be retired untill Ares-1 is ready but not enough money for both sadly.
yeah they will transfer crews via soyuz untill ares but shuttle has more up mass capcity than soyuz or progress

Edit: I read the reply and oops didnt know a news station said this

2. Just quoting what they said on Channel 18 in Orlando tonight.

I know there are more launches to go but that's what they said.

3. The space shuttle

is aging. It is over 20 years old, the technology in them is 30+ years old.
