According to NASA, the External Tank, or ET, that was damaged in a hail storm can be fixed. This is good news since replacing the tank would have pushed the launch window even further than April. possibly to June. The original launch date was March 15.
This will be the first launch of the year. NASA hopes to launch four to five time this year to hold to the 2010 retirement date of the shuttle.
