It could be any number of things.

1. Avoid a collision with something.

2. It could be based on where the space station will be positioned at that time.

ssjfb, I don't expect them to fly all the planed flights.
You'll see, a lot of unexpected problems will delay the flights again,
resulting in (my guess) only 3 launches this year.
But we're used to that I guess :p

ROOT CAUSE CONFIRMED ON STS-122!

ECO (Engine Cut Off) sensor anomalies are caused by "substantial amount of Krytox grease and silicon contamination" on the External LH2 Feed-through connector plug and pins, testing has found, as STS-122 marches - with confidence - towards launch next month.



Next week A Flight Rediness Review will be held. Nasa mission managers will meet to decide on an official launch date and decide if the flight crew, Shuttle, systems, and payload are ok to fly.
