NASA HOLDS NEWS CONFERENCE WITH STATION CREW MEMBERS
HOUSTON -- Three of the six crew members living aboard the
International Space Station will take questions from reporters during
a news conference on Wednesday, April 11, at 9:15 a.m. CDT. The
conference will air live on NASA Television and will be streamed on
the agency's website.
The news conference will link up reporters with NASA Expedition 30
Commander Dan Burbank and Flight Engineers Don Pettit and European
Space Agency astronaut Andre Kuipers.
The crew members will discuss research they are conducting, the myriad
of cargo delivery vehicles visiting the station -- including SpaceX
Dragon, the first American commercial vehicle -- and the return of
Burbank and cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin in
their Soyuz spacecraft later this month.
Media can ask questions from NASA's Johnson Space Center or by
telephone. To participate in the news conference in person, U.S.
journalists must call the Johnson Space Center newsroom by 4 p.m. on
Tuesday, April 10. To participate in the briefing by phone,
representatives from accredited media organizations must call the
Johnson newsroom 15 minutes before the start of the conference at
281-483-5111. Journalists participating in person will be given
priority; phone questions will be taken as time permits.
NASA also will include questions from the public via social media by
using the hashtag #askStation on Twitter.
The exact time of the news conference is subject to change. For NASA
