NASA ANNOUNCES MEDIA DAY FOR HURRICANE RESEARCH FLIGHTS

WASHINGTON -- NASA will host media in Fort Lauderdale, Fla , and Houston on Tuesday, Aug 31, for a behind-the-scenes look at the agency's major airborne campaign studying Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes The campaign, called the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes mission, or GRIP, starts next week

Scientists will spend six weeks flying NASA research aircraft in and around storms and the areas where they may be forming Instruments onboard NASA's aircraft will collect data to help enhance understanding of how tropical storms form and become hurricanes

NASA's DC-8 aircraft, which will carry seven science instruments, is based in Fort Lauderdale NASA's WB-57 aircraft, which will carry two instruments, is based in Houston Media day events will feature a briefing with mission scientists and flight crews, followed by tours of the aircraft and interviews

The Florida event will be at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport from 8 to 10 a m EDT The Texas media day will be at the Johnson Space Center's Ellington Field in Houston from 1 to 3 p m CDT The date of the media day is subject to change depending on the schedule of research flights

Reporters planning to attend must pre-register by Tuesday, Aug 24 For the Ft Lauderdale event, contact Rob Gutro at 301-286-4044 or robert j gutro@nasa gov For the Houston event, contact Nicole Cloutier-Lemasters at 281-483-5111 or nicole cloutier-1@nasa gov

NASA PLANS NEXT SPACE STATION REPAIR SPACEWALK FOR MONDAY

HOUSTON -- The third spacewalk to restore full cooling capability to the International Space Station is scheduled for Monday, Aug 16

Expedition 24 Flight Engineers Doug Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson will venture outside to install a replacement pump and connect its electrical and fluid lines The two NASA astronauts conducted the first two spacewalks to remove the failed ammonia pump from the station's truss, or backbone

The pump removed during Wednesday's spacewalk failed on July 31, causing a loss of half of the station's cooling system Since then, the station has been operating normally while a second ammonia pump provides cooling for electronics

NASA Television coverage will begin Monday at 5 a m CDT Wheelock and Caldwell Dyson are scheduled to begin the spacewalk just before 6 a m Monday's spacewalk will be the sixth for Wheelock and the third for Caldwell Dyson

Approximately two hours after the conclusion of the spacewalk, NASA TV will broadcast a briefing from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston The briefing participants will be Kirk Shireman, International Space Station deputy program manager; Courtenay McMillan, Expedition 24 spacewalk flight director; and David Beaver, Expedition 24 spacewalk officer

Reporters may ask questions from participating NASA locations, and should contact their preferred NASA center to confirm participation Johnson's newsroom will be open for credentialed reporters to attend the briefing Johnson also will operate a telephone bridge for reporters with valid media credentials issued by a NASA center

Journalists planning to use the service must contact the Johnson newsroom at 281-483-5111 no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the briefing Phone bridge capacity is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis
