STS-8, originally scheduled for 20 August, will now launch between 23 and 30 August. STS-9, originally scheduled to launch on 30 September, will probably slip into late October; in order to gain maximum scientific return from the flight, NASA has to launch it within a one week window of 30 September, which is becoming unlikely. If they miss that opportunity, the next starts around 26 October.
