Brown Convention Center for a holiday celebration.
This year, NASA is providing space-themed games, educational exhibits and fun handouts for the children. A video also will be shown in the NASA exhibit with highlights of day-to-day activities from the STS-116 mission crew now on orbit.
Media are invited to attend the festivities. Dutton, Morin, Chamitoff and Marshburn will be available for interviews before and after their autograph signing sessions.
