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".

My forecast conferences NASA on August 6 - present 10-100 new hot transit gas giants planets depending on numbers false planet candidate I made a similar guess-timate about the first CoRoT press conference. The announcement of a single hot Juptier was more-or-less a disappointment. I learned my lesson. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)
