HOUSTON -- The news briefings to preview the year's first space
shuttle mission have been rescheduled to Friday, Jan. 29, at NASA's
Johnson Space Center in Houston. NASA Television and the agency's Web
site will broadcast the briefings live. Reporters may ask questions
from participating NASA locations.
The series of briefings will focus on shuttle Endeavour's STS-130
mission to deliver the final module of the U.S. portion of the
International Space Station. The briefings have been rescheduled to
allow more analysis of engineering data from the test of
high-pressure ammonia jumper hose assemblies that failed during a
prelaunch test last week. The results will determine if there will be
any impact to the shuttle mission. Teams continue to work toward a
target launch of Feb. 7.
Previously submitted requests from reporters for credentials to attend
the briefings, or to participate in round-robin interviews with an
STS-130 astronaut, will be adjusted for the new date and do not need
to be resubmitted. Reporters who have not requested credentials and
are planning to attend the briefings in Houston must contact the
Johnson newsroom at 281-483-5111 by 5 p.m. CST, on Jan. 21.
Endeavour's six astronauts will be available for interviews at
Johnson. New requests to reserve an interview slot should be
submitted to Gayle Frere at 281-483-8645 by Jan. 21.
The updated schedule of briefings (all times CST) is:
8 a.m. - STS-130 Video B-Roll feed
9 a.m. - STS-130 Mission Overview Briefing
10:30 a.m. - STS-130 Spacewalk Overview Briefing
