Although there is still a lot of work to be done, NASA hopes to launch space shuttle Discovery in May, and wants to try 3 shuttle flights this year. The first launch window is May 10 to 22. The next opportunity lasts from the 1st to the 19th of July.An "aggressive" effort is underway to reach STS-121's current launch window, though a significant, time-consuming glitch could push the flight into July, NASA officials said.
17 or so flights are left on the shuttle manifest before the program is terminated in 2010. The three remaining orbiters can only expect to fly about five missions each. Shuttle Atlantis will retire in 2008, after it's final 5 flights.
