Launch Date Updated
editI updated the lauch window reflecting the current projection of 9/6 - 9/8. NASA has pretty much taken all dates past 9/8/2006 off the table. If not launched by the 9/8 the shuttle will likely not launch until October.
Press briefings
editOn August 11 there will be a number of STS-115 briefings which will be carried on NASA TV. Some good content for the article might well come out of them. http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/MM_NTV_Breaking.html
- 9 a.m. EDT (eastern daylight time)-- Program and International Space Station Assembly Overview Briefing 14.00 BST (British Summer Time)
- 10:30 a.m. -- STS-115 Mission Overview Briefing 15.30 BST
- 12.00 a.m -- STS-115 Spacewalk Overview Briefing 17.00 BST

- 6 p.m. -- STS-115 Canadian Space Agency Briefing with Mission Specialist Steve MacLean (for Canadian media)
Photos and - before/after
editInstead of some assorted photos here and there in article, I suggest two photos : before insttalling P3/P4 and after installing P3/P4 (both of course with whole station visible). Other photos in article schould be launch of shuttle and one photo from spacewalks (this photo is very nice). Of course, logo of mission and group photo of astronauts is ok.
Landing Date
editThe landing date was listed as September 23rd, so I changed it to September 21st. I work at Kennedy Space Center and watched it roll over from the SLF. I can assure you that it landed on September 21st, 2006. The NASA website confirms this.
