SPACE STATION CREW TO TALK WITH STUDENTS IN SILICON VALLEY

HOUSTON -- News media representatives are invited to a live 
interactive event with students and the crew aboard the International 
Space Station as part of Destination Station activities during the 
month of March. The event takes place March 7 at The Tech Museum in 
San Jose, Calif. 

Destination Station is NASA's national awareness campaign to promote 
space station research opportunities, educate the public about 
station activities, and communicate the current and potential future 
impacts of the station on everyday life. 

The event begins at 10 a.m. PST. Expedition 30 Commander Dan Burbank 
and Flight Engineer Don Pettit aboard the space station will speak 
with students visiting the museum during the downlink portion of the 
event, which will be broadcast live on NASA Television beginning at 
10:20 a.m. Journalists who would like to attend should contact Roqua 
Montez at 408-795-6225. 

The downlink is one of several events planned March 1-12 to showcase 
the agency's newest multimedia exhibit, "Destination Station," which 
is free with admission to The Tech Museum. The exhibit is open to the 
public through April 15.
