NEXT SPACE STATION CREW TO DISCUSS MISSION ON NASA TV

The next residents of the International Space Station and a Japanese
spaceflight participant will discuss their mission during a Thursday,
July 13, news conference on NASA TV.

The 3:30 p.m. EDT briefing will originate from NASA's Johnson Space
Center, Houston, while the current station residents continue their
joint mission with the Space Shuttle Discovery. Questions will be
taken from media at participating NASA locations. The briefing
participants a

-- Mike Lopez-Alegria, a NASA astronaut born in Madrid, Spain, and
raised in Mission Viejo, Calif., who will be Expedition 14 commander
and NASA space station science officer.
-- Mikhail Tyurin, a Russian cosmonaut who will be Expedition 14
flight engineer and Soyuz commander.
-- Suni Williams, a NASA astronaut born in Euclid, Ohio, and raised in
Needham, Mass., who will be a flight engineer on both Expedition 14
and 15. Williams will arrive for a six-month stay at the complex on
the STS-116 shuttle mission, joining Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin and
replacing European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Reiter as a third
station crew member. Williams will remain on the station until the
spring 2007, while Reiter returns to Earth with the STS-116 crew.
-- Daisuke Enomoto, a Japanese businessman who will launch with
Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin from Baikonur under a commercial agreement
with the Russian Federal Space Agency. Enomoto will stay on the
station for eight days and return to Earth with Expedition 13 Flight
Engineer Jeff Williams and Expedition 13 Commander Pavel Vinogradov,
currently aboard the complex.

Following the news conference, interviews will be available with
Lopez-Alegria, Tyurin and Williams for reporters at Johnson and by
phone. Interested media should contact the Johnson newsroom at
