[amsat-bb] Phase 3-E Launch date?

Greetings All!

Does anyone have any word regarding the final integration and actual launch dates for Phase 3-E? Was anything about Phase 3-D discussed at Dayton?

Everything I'm reading on the AMSAT-DL Web site is devoid of any firm launch dates and the AMSAT-NA Web site simply says "January 2009".

How firm is that date? Has a launch contract been let?
