NASA OPENS MEDIA ACCREDITATION FOR SHUTTLE DISCOVERY DEPARTURE

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Media accreditation for activities surrounding 
space shuttle Discovery's departure from NASA's Kennedy Space Center 
in Florida is open. Discovery will be transported atop a NASA Shuttle 
Carrier Aircraft (SCA), a modified 747 jet, to Dulles International 
Airport in Virginia on April 17. 

Journalists can cover a number of operations related to the ferry 
flight, beginning when the SCA arrives at Kennedy's Shuttle Landing 
Facility runway. That arrival currently is targeted for April 10. To 
accommodate processing times, international media representatives who 
want to cover the SCA arrival must apply for credentials by March 29. 
For U.S. journalists, the application deadline is April 6.

For international journalists who only want to cover Discovery's 
departure on April 17, the deadline to apply for credentials is April 
9. For U.S. journalists the application deadline is April 16.

All media accreditation requests must be submitted online at:

https://media.ksc.nasa.gov  

A schedule of all media activities and events related to Discovery's 
ferry flight will be announced in the coming weeks.

After arriving at Dulles, Discovery will be removed from the SCA and 
moved to the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center for permanent public 
display on April 19. For more information on the shuttle's 
preparations for public display, visit:
