Spacewalk strategy revised for next shuttle flight, CBS/SpaceFlightNow.com

“Because of an over-loaded crew timeline and new heat-shield inspection requirements, shuttle flight planners have decided to eliminate one of three previously planned spacewalks from Discovery’s upcoming mission – a spacewalk devoted to testing heat-shield repair techniques – in order to give the crew more time off in orbit, officials say.”
