NASA CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST SHUTTLE FLIGHT

NASA today launches a series of events to commemorate the 25th
anniversary of the first space shuttle flight. On April 12, 1981,
shuttle Columbia lifted off with Commander John Young and pilot
Robert Crippen. Their mission, known as STS-1, is being remembered as
the boldest test flight in history. Several anniversary activities
will be broadcast live on NASA Television.

The first event will take place today at NASA's Kennedy Space Center,
Fla., and will air live on NASA Television beginning at 3 p.m. EDT.
The STS-1 crew will address Kennedy employees and field their
questions during a one-hour session.

On the actual anniversary date, NASA astronaut Steve Lindsey,
commander of the next space shuttle mission, will be available for
satellite interviews from the agency's Johnson Space Center, Houston,
between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. EDT. To participate, media should call the
center's newsroom at (281) 483-5111 by 4 p.m. EDT April 11. Lindsey's
interviews and training b-roll will be broadcast live on the NASA TV
analog satellite AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude, transponder 5C,
3800 MHz, vertical polarization, with audio at 6.8 MHz. The b-roll
airs at 6:30 a.m. EDT.

At 10 a.m. EDT April 12, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin will join
Young and Crippen at Space Center Houston to honor their mission and
all those who made it possible. Due to limited seating, the event is
not open to the public, but it will be broadcast live on NASA TV. At
11:05 a.m. EDT, the NASA administrator and members of Congress will
hold an informal media availability at Space Center Houston.

At 11:45 a.m. EDT, Young and Crippen will participate in a news
conference from Johnson's Teague Auditorium on NASA TV. Reporters at
Johnson, Kennedy and NASA Headquarters can ask questions. At 12:30
p.m. EDT, NASA TV will broadcast an event from the Teague where the
STS-1 crew, former shuttle managers and flight directors will
reminisce about the historic mission for Johnson employees.
