NASA will try to launch four shuttle flights in 2007 to continue building the International Space Station, managers for the U.S. space agency said Monday.
The targeted launch dates are June 8 for Atlantis, Aug. 9 for Endeavour, Oct. 20 for Discovery and Dec. 6 for Atlantis. NASA officials also announced dates for two of next year’s flights, although more shuttle missions are expected in 2008, including one to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Endeavour is scheduled to be launched on Valentine’s Day 2008 and Discovery is set to fly again April 24, 2008.
