NASA ADMINISTRATOR HOLDS MEDIA AVAILABILITY AT KENNEDY FEB. 17

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Media are invited to an interview availability 
with NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden and Kennedy Space Center 
Director Bob Cabana at 1:30 p.m. EST on Friday, Feb. 17, in Kennedy's 
Multi-Payload Processing Facility, the location of a recently arrived 
test version of NASA's Orion spacecraft, the vehicle that will take 
humans into deep space.

Bolden and Cabana will be available for questions and will discuss the 
past, present and future of NASA. Orion and the Space Launch System 
heavy-lift rocket will lift off from Kennedy's Launch Pad 39B and 
take humans farther into space than ever before, including to an 
asteroid and Mars. The full-scale Orion crew module media will see 
was used by ground crews in advance of the launch abort system flight 
test that took place in New Mexico in 2010.

Media need to be at Kennedy's Press Site by 12:45 p.m. for 
transportation to the facility.

U.S. journalists without media credentials need to apply online by 
4:30 p.m. on Feb. 16 at:

No new credentials for international media will be issued for this 
event.
