NASA ANNOUNCES CURIOSITY ROVER MEDIA EVENTS SCHEDULE

WASHINGTON -- NASA will host two media events this week to provide
Curiosity rover mission updates. The first event is a media
teleconference at 1p.m. EDT, today. The second event is televised
briefing at 2:30 p.m. EDT, Aug. 22.

The Mars Curiosity team is operating on Mars time. The Martian day is
40 minutes longer than an Earth day, so all events are scheduled
based on team availability. The schedule is subject to change.
