MEDIA INVITED TO SPACE SHUTTLE MODEL MOVE PHOTO OPPORTUNITY

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA is inviting media to cover the move of 
the high-fidelity space shuttle model from the Kennedy Space Center 
Visitor Complex in Florida to Kennedy's Launch Complex 39 turn basin 
on Sunday, Dec. 11, starting as early as 7 a.m. EST. 

The full-scale shuttle model is being transferred from Kennedy to 
Space Center Houston, NASA Johnson Space Center's visitor center. The 
model will temporarily stay at the turn basin until it is transported 
via barge to Texas in the next several months. The move also helps 
clear the way for the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to begin 
building a new facility next year to display space shuttle Atlantis 
in 2013. 

Reporters interested in just covering the start of the move at the 
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex should contact Andrea Farmer at 
321-449-4318 by Dec. 9 to RSVP.

Journalists who want to cover the entire move and who do not have NASA 
Kennedy media accreditation need to apply for credentials by noon on 
Dec. 8. New international media accreditation for this event is 
closed. Badges can be picked up at the Kennedy Space Center Badging 
Office on State Road 405 from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 9. Media must 
apply for credentials online at:

https://media.ksc.nasa.gov  

Video b-roll of the event will be available that afternoon on the NASA 
Television Video File. For NASA TV downlink information, schedules
