NASA Press Conference Tomorrow on STS-133 (Discovery)

Despite the tragic events in Tuscon this weekend, life and work must go on. NASA will hold a press conference tomorrow (Tuesday) at 1:00 pm CST (2:00 pm EST) with an update on preparations for the launch of STS-133 (Discovery). The STS-133 launch has been postponed since November due to a gas leak and cracks on its External Tank stringers.

Press conference participants will be Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA Associate Administrator for Space Operations; John Shannon, space shuttle program manager; and Mike Sufferdini, ISS program manager. The event will be covered live on NASA TV.

Editor’s Note: This is NOT the mission that Mark Kelly, Gabrielle Giffords’ husband, is scheduled to fly. He is the commander of STS-134, currently scheduled for April.
