Reporters interested in covering the event should contact Teresa Mannix at 202-687-4080 or tmm53@georgetown.edu. Ken Ham commanded the flight and was joined by Pilot Tony Antonelli and Mission Specialists Garrett Reisman, Michael Good, Steve Bowen and Piers Sellers. The six astronauts completed a 12-day mission aboard space shuttle Atlantis in May.
It was the third shuttle mission of 2010 and the last scheduled flight for Atlantis. The mission, designated STS-132, delivered the Russian-built Mini Research Module-1 to the International Space Station. Also known as Rassvet (the Russian word for "dawn"), the module provides additional storage space and a new docking port for Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft.
The mission's three spacewalks focused on replacing and installing components outside the station, including replacing six batteries, installing a communications antenna and adding parts to the Canadian Dextre robotic arm.
