ASTRONAUTS TO VISIT NASA GLENN

CLEVELAND --Two astronauts who flew on space shuttle Discovery during 
mission STS-128 will visit NASA's Glenn Research Center on October 28 
at 1:30 p.m. 

Shuttle pilot Kevin Ford and mission specialist Jose Hernandez will 
share highlights of their mission with Glenn employees. 

Their mission included delivery of the Fluids Integrated Rack, a 
high-tech science experiment facility designed, fabricated and tested 
at Glenn, to the International Space of Station. It will be used to 
perform fluid physics experiments to understand how fluids behave in 
microgravity conditions. 

Reporters are invited to attend the briefing, which will take place in 
the Administration Building Auditorium. An informal media opportunity 
will follow. If interested in attending, please contact Sally 
Harrington at 216-433-2037 or the Media Relations Office at
