According to Space.com, the final selection has been made for the next DISCOVERY mission.
It will be the GRAIL lunar gravity mapping mission. Space.com article Edit: Just noticed that Norm Hartnett posted an official link earlier on the KAGUYA topic: NASA |

A wee update - MoonKAM was turned on for the extended mission and added some images to the gallery:
http://images.moonkam.ucsd.edu/v/mk12_10/ But now the camara has been affected by a solar flare - it can still be commanded but may not work, as I understand it. I don't know the date of the event yet. https://moonkam.ucsd.edu/news/moonkam_mission_interrupted Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
