DISCOVERY ASTRONAUTS TO PROVIDE PERSONAL VIEW OF FLIGHT

DISCOVERY ASTRONAUTS TO PROVIDE PERSONAL VIEW OF FLIGHT
The astronauts that returned the Space Shuttle to flight aboard Discovery
will provide the public a personal look at their historic mission at 6:30
p.m. CDT Thursday, Sept. 8, at Space Center Houston.
Media are invited to attend the event, which also will include the flight
directors that led Mission Control during mission STS-114 last month.
The free briefing in Space Center Houston's Mazda Theatre will include
slides, a video presentation and an opportunity for the audience to ask
questions. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Seating is limited and available on a
first-come, first-served basis. Once the 580-seat theater fills, guests
will
be seated in an adjacent area and may watch the program on closed-circuit
television.
The first of two Space Shuttle Return to Flight missions, STS-114 included
breathtaking maneuvers in orbit, tests of new equipment and procedures, a
first-of-its-kind spacewalking repair and phone calls from two world
leaders.
Discovery touched down Aug. 9 at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The
Shuttle orbiter was returned Aug. 21 to Kennedy Space Center in Florida
atop
a modified Boeing 747 aircraft.
