Launch date for fall shuttle missions confirmed

Space.com: NASA mission managers decided Thursday not to push for earlier launch dates for two space shuttle missions set to blast off this fall.

The shuttle Atlantis will remain on track for a planned Oct. 8 launch to overhaul the Hubble Space Telescope while its sister ship Endeavour will continue toward a Nov. 10 liftoff to the International Space Station, NASA spokesperson Kyle Herring told SPACE.com.
