NASA SCHEDULES NEWS CONFERENCE ABOUT NEXT SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH

HOUSTON -- NASA managers will hold a news conference at 12 p.m. EST 
today at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston to discuss the 
next space shuttle mission, STS-133, and the progress of repairs 
since Discovery's original launch delay Nov. 5.

The news conference follows Thursday's Space Shuttle Program 
Requirements Control Board meeting. Program officials reviewed 
repairs and engineering evaluations associated with cracks on two 
21-foot-long, U-shaped aluminum brackets, called stringers, on the 
shuttle's external tank.

The briefing participants are:
-- Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for Space Operations
-- John Shannon, Space Shuttle Program manager
-- Mike Suffredini, International Space Station Program manager

The news conference will air live on NASA Television and the agency's 
website. Reporters may ask questions from participating NASA centers, 
including Kennedy Space Center, or by calling into a phone bridge.

To use the phone bridge, reporters must have valid media credentials 
issued by a NASA center or issued specifically for the STS-133 
mission. Journalists planning to use the phone bridge must contact 
the Johnson newsroom at 281-483-5111 no later than 11:45 a.m. 
Newsroom personnel will verify credentials and transfer reporters to 
the phone bridge. Capacity is limited and available on a first-come, 
first-served basis.
