NASA ASTRONAUT CADY COLEMAN AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS ON EVE OF SHUTTLE LANDING
HOUSTON -- NASA astronaut Cady Coleman, back on Earth after working
last week in orbit with the space shuttle Endeavour and International
Space Station crews, will be available for live satellite interviews
from 6 - 8 a.m. CDT on Tuesday, May 31. This is one day before
Endeavour's final landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida,
scheduled for 1:35 a.m. June 1.
On May 23, Coleman completed 159 days in space as a member of the
Expedition 26 and 27 crews. This was the first time a station crew
returned to Earth while a shuttle was docked to the complex.
Coleman's interviews will air live on NASA Television. To arrange an
interview, news media representatives must contact the Johnson Space
Center newsroom at 281-483-5111 or send an e-mail to
stephanie.l.luna@nasa.gov no later than 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 29. The
e-mail must include contact information and technical points of
contact to allow a NASA producer to finalize the interview
arrangements during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Coleman and her crewmates, Expedition 27 Commander Dmitry Kondratyev
and Flight Engineer Paolo Nespoli of the European Space Agency,
landed at 9:27 p.m. May 23 in Kazakhstan. During their mission, they
worked on more than 150 microgravity experiments in human research,
biology and biotechnology, physical and materials sciences,
technology development and Earth and space sciences.
Coleman is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
received a doctorate from the University of Massachusetts. Before her
flight on Expedition 27, Coleman flew on two shuttle missions, STS-73
in 1995 and STS-93 in 1999.
The interviews will air on NASA TV's Live Interview Media Outlet
channel. The channel is a digital satellite C-band downlink by uplink
provider Americom. It is on satellite AMC 3, transponder 9C, located
at 87 degrees west, downlink frequency 3865.5 MHz based on a standard
