2nd 60-day study

[radarredux]

Griffin kicked off two 60-day studies: ESAS which has now been revealed and Shuttle/Station Configuration Options Team (SSCOT) for the fly-out of the shuttle, final ISS configuration, and (presumably) ISS use post 2010.<br /><br />What happened to the second 60-day study?<br /><br />It seems that a lot of the questions being "discussed" (I use the term loosely) in other threads will be answered by this study.

Some new information...<br />Seems the report is complete and now Congress etc are being briefed on it.<br />19 flights maximum, including one to Hubble, and Node 3 is out.<br /><br />Flight International article

Nice find with that article. Shame about Node 3, but the HSM is going to be one to watch for sure - with no safe haven option and the process of servicing Hubble.<br /><br />Has anyone heard anything recently about the ATV? I've either missed it or heard little on how ESA is doing with that.

The ATV is to launch sometime next year.
