The launch of STS-119 was delayed until at least March 15 because of a gas line leak yesterday. If the shuttle can't launch by March 17, the mission will be delayed until April to accomodate a Soyuz mission to ISS that is set to launch March 26.
If STS-119 is delayed until April, the remainder of the shuttle launch schedule will probably have to be pushed back. The main tasks of STS-119 will be to deliver the final piece of the main truss of ISS, as well as the final pair of solar power wings.
