PRE-FLIGHT BRIEFINGS FOR SECOND HUBBLE SPACE
TELESCOPE SERVICING MISSION SET FOR JANUARY 31
A series of briefings to preview the activities and objectives
of NASA's second servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope
(HST) will be held on Friday, Jan. 31 at the Johnson Space Center
(JSC), Houston, TX, and the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC),
Greenbelt, MD.
During the mission, designated STS-82, Discovery's seven
astronauts will retrieve the orbiting telescope. After HST is
secured in the Shuttle's cargo bay, four separate spacewalks will
be conducted during which various HST components will be removed
and replaced before the telescope is released to continue its
investigations into the mysteries of the universe.
The STS-82 pre-flight briefings will begin at JSC at 8 a.m.
EST with the crew news conference. That will be followed by a
mission briefing at 9 a.m. At 10 a.m., the location of the
briefings will switch to NASA Headquarters for an HST payloads
briefing followed by an HST science briefing at 11 a.m. NASA's
daily video file feed will air at its regular time of noon, EST.
The final briefing of the day will originate at JSC at 12:30 p.m.
EST to discuss the Hubble servicing spacewalks.
All of the briefings will be carried on NASA Television with
two-way question and answer capability from participating NASA centers.
NASA Television is available on Spacenet-2, Transponder 5,
channel 9, C-Band, at 69 degrees West longitude, frequency 3880.0
MHz, audio 6.8 Mhz.
