There have been engineering issues relating to one of the devices the shuttle is to deliver, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. The projected/revised delivery date would occur at a time when the shuttle cannot launch (beta angle cutout). After that, traffic at station would prohibit launch until February 2011. The potential for delay has been known for a couple of months now.

You are very correct. I remember that reading that. I will give you a picture of an Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer.
