Default 2007 shuttle launch schedule

Here is NASA's tentative 2007 shuttle launch schedule. I believe this
will be a great year for the shuttle and space station programs U.S and
international partners (vehicles, equipment, crews, technicians,
engineers, managers and administrators), with five planned iss
construction missions including adding 2 truss segments, another set of
solar arrays, the crucial node 2, and the increased science capacity
with the Columbus laboratory, and Kibo module.
