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".

Just got word from Natalie Batalha saying that there will be a slight delay, a couple of days, on the detection of first light.
