摘要

NASA's need to delay the launch of the next Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission from late August to early October has caused an identical slip for the Ares 1-X test flight planned for next spring. Ares 1-X, a four-segment solid-rocket booster fitted with a dummy fifth segment and simulated upper stage, had been slated to launch April 15, 2009, from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39B. But until Atlantis returns from an 11-day mission to refurbish Hubble, Endeavour must remain on Pad 39B, poised to conduct a rescue mission should the Atlantis crew find itself stranded in space in a crippled orbiter. NASA Constellation Program Manager Jeff Hanley said pad modifications and other preparations needed for the Ares 1-X launch will be held up until the shuttle program transfers Pad 39B and other assets to Constellation following the Hubble mission. "Right now, the first-blush impact assessment suggests a day-for-day slip," Hanley told reporters during a May 15 teleconference. NASA announced in early May that the Hubble mission would be delayed four to five weeks because manufacturing of space shuttle external tanks that incorporate all of the changes made in the wake of the 2003 Columbia accident is taking longer than expected. A planned mid-October mission to the international space station is expected to slip to mid-November.
