SUNITA WILLIAMS TO VISIT NASA GLENN'S PLUM BROOK STATION

Cleveland -- News media are invited to attend a post-flight mission 
briefing for employees with NASA astronaut and Ohio native Sunita 
Williams at NASA Glenn Research Center's Plum Brook Station on 
Thursday, August 30, at 1 p.m. 

As a member of the Expedition 14 crew aboard the International Space 
Station, Williams established a world record for females with four 
spacewalks totaling 29 hours and 17 minutes of extravehicular 
activity. She concluded her tour of duty as a member of the 
Expedition 15 crew, returning to Earth with the STS-117 space shuttle 
crew on June 22, 2007. 

Williams, who holds the record for longest spaceflight by a woman, was 
born in Euclid, Ohio. She spent 195 days in space, 190 of them as a 
flight engineer aboard the station. 

Williams will present a video of mission highlights and talk about her 
work on the space station's electrical power system that was tested 
in Plum Brook's Space Power Facility. 

Williams will be available for a brief question and answer session 
with the news media from 2:30 to 2:45 p.m. 

Media representatives interested in covering the event should contact 
Sally Harrington at 216-433-2037 by 10 a.m. Thursday, August 30.
