On Dec. 5, 2014, NASA’s Orion spacecraft, the vehicle that will send astronauts to deep space destinations, underwent a rigorous uncrewed flight test that was supported by various teams at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
On Tuesday, March 24, 2015, Orion Program Manager Mark Geyer of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Houston, will visit NASA Goddard to meet and thank the teams for their efforts. Geyer will also have an opportunity to see some of Goddard’s other current programs such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the Satellite Servicing Robotics Laboratory.
As part of Geyer’s visit to Goddard, a media opportunity for reporters to speak with him is planned for 4:30 p.m. EDT.
Reporters who wish to participate in the Q-and-A opportunity need to make arrangements with Goddard’s Office of Communications. Media representatives should contact Goddard’s News Chief Ed Campion via e-mail at edward.s.campion@nasa.gov or by phone at 301-286-0697 no later than noon on Tuesday, March 24, to arrange accreditation and access to the center.
