NOTE TO EDITORS:
MEDIA OPPORTUNITY NOV. 5 AT LAUNCH PAD 39A WITH STS-88 ASTRONAUTS
The six-member crew of the first Shuttle mission slated for
International Space Station (ISS) assembly will be at Kennedy Space Center
this week for the STS-88 Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT).
Media representatives will have an opportunity to meet the crew on Nov. 5 at
Launch Pad 39A, where Shuttle Endeavour and the Unity connecting module
await a Dec. 3 target launch date.
The countdown test is held prior to each Space Shuttle flight. It
provides the crew of each mission opportunities to participate in simulated
countdown activities at KSC. The time is also used by the crew for
emergency egress training exercises at the pad and inspecting their mission
payloads in the orbiter's payload bay.
Today at about 6:30 p.m., the crew is scheduled to arrive at KSC's
Shuttle Landing Facility. NASA photographers and videographers will capture
this event and images will be available to the media Wednesday at the KSC
Press Site.
On Thursday, the crew will speak informally to interested media just
prior to their scheduled emergency egress walk-down of the launch pad area.
Media interested in participating in this photo opportunity and question and
answer session should be at the KSC Press Site by 12:30 p.m. on Thursday for
transport to the pad. This event will not be carried live on NASA TV, but
will be replayed at 3:30 p.m. that same day.
On Friday at about 7:45 a.m., the astronauts will depart KSC's crew
quarters wearing their launch and entry suits headed for Pad 39A. At about
8:15 a.m. they will begin ingress into Shuttle Endeavour's crew compartment.
The prelaunch dress rehearsal will culminate in a simulated main engine
cut-off at about 11 a.m. The crew is scheduled to depart KSC for their
homes in Houston, TX, Friday at about 2 p.m.
PHOTO EVENTS OPEN TO MEDIA:
Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. crew members will drive the M113 tracked vehicle.
Thursday at 1:30 p.m. the media will have a brief Q&A session with the crew.
Friday at 7:45 a.m. the crew walks out of the O&C Building headed for the
pad. Media interested in these events must report to the KSC Press Site one
hour prior to each event. Media needing credentials must call the KSC Press
Site at 407-867-2468.
