This NASA Discovery mission is to be launched in June 2008 and will search for Earth-size and smaller planets. Launch was originally scheduled in 2007 but delayed by 8 months due to "funding constraints".

Talking about mission life time; there was already talk of a possible extension to six years, which would allow improved observations of more transits to detect smaller planets and of course finding planets in larger period orbits
