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.
