While NASA's Altair lunar lander design studies hang around in US Review of Human Space Flight Plans committee report limbo, the space agency appears to be doing some work still and this Langley Research Center procurement synopsis is asking for ideas about composite strut ideas for Altair. An indication that Constellation is still go?

Depends on who you talk to and about what. The Senate, House, Administration, and NASA management all have different ideas/plans right now. From what I can tell, Bolden's moving forward with a modified Constellation (Dual-launch A5 Lite with A1 as tech/R&D program, otherwise mostly same) until he gets concrete instructions otherwise.
