NASA ANNOUNCES SHUTTLE AND STATION CREW INTERVIEWS
New videotaped interviews with the crews of NASA's next space shuttle
and international space station missions are available. Highlights
will air on the NASA TV Video File on the Media Channel starting at
noon EST, today.
Individual interviews were recorded with the Space Shuttle Discovery
(STS-121) astronauts and the station crew. The shuttle flight,
targeted for launch no earlier than May, will check orbiter safety
improvements and resupply the space station. The shuttle crew
includes mission commander Steve Lindsey, pilot Mark Kelly; mission
specialists Mike Fossum, Piers Sellers, Lisa Nowak and Stephanie
Wilson. European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Reiter will launch on
Discovery and stay on the station for several months.
The next station crew, Expedition 13, will launch on a Soyuz
spacecraft March 30. Cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov is commander, and
astronaut Jeff Williams is flight engineer. Reiter will join the
Expedition 13 crew for his time onboard the station.
Videotapes of the complete interviews are available by contacting
NASA's Johnson Space Center newsroom at: (281) 483-5111.
