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 |

Just a reminder
UPCOMING EVENT: NASA Moon Mission News 10:30 a.m. PST (13:30 EST) Thursday, Dec. 13 (18:30 UTC) LINK http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2 NASA will host a media teleconference to provide an overview of events leading up to twin spacecraft being commanded to impact the moon's surface on Dec. 17 at approximately 14:28 PST, (17:28 EST). (22:28 UTC) NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, whose two washing machine-sized probes were named Ebb and Flow by elementary school students in Bozeman, Mont., via a nationwide contest, have successfully completed their prime missions and have only days to go on their extended mission science collection. As planned, the duo is running low on fuel. They have been orbiting the moon since New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, respectively, giving scientists unprecedented detail about the moon's internal structure and composition. |
