NASA ROLLS OUT EXPLORATION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE STUDY RESULTS

NASA today announced it will release the results of its Exploration 
Systems Architecture Study on Monday, Sept. 19, at 11 a.m. EDT in 
NASA Headquarters' James E. Webb Auditorium. 

The news conference will be carried live on NASA Television and 
www.nasa.gov/ntv, and questions will be taken from participating NASA 
centers. 

On January 14, 2004, President George W. Bush set a bold Vision for 
Space Exploration that instructed NASA to return the space shuttle to 
safe flight, complete the International Space Station, return to the 
moon and continue on to Mars. 

The study commissioned by Administrator Michael Griffin is the 
blueprint from which NASA will build the nation's future spacecraft 
and launch vehicles to meet the goals and objectives outlined by the 
President. 

NASA TV is carried by an MPEG-2 digital signal accessed via satellite 
AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude, transponder 17C, 4040 MHz, 
vertical polarization. A digital video broadcast compliant integrated 
receiver decoder is required for reception.
