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".

Gah! I missed the press conference because I was in the middle of negotiating a fair valuation for my house regarding property taxes!
Anyway, most of it is now on YouTube, if you missed it too -- here's the link to part 1, with two more parts posted by the same user. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWvpQ5Jwyfg The space-multimedia archive site will probably have the full video at some point in the next day or two. Anyway, this is fantastic news! I guess after Hubble's trials, there's always that period of worry and second guessing before you get the first block of science data and the instrument finally checks out okay. |
