Questions will be taken from journalists via phone from participating NASA centers. NASA also will take as many questions as possible submitted via Twitter using the hashtag #askNASA.
At the NASA Armstrong center-level briefing in Palmdale, Director David McBride and other center officials will outline the FY15 budget proposal as it relates to research programs and projects, science missions and operations at its main campus at Edwards Air Force Base and its aircraft operations facility adjacent to Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale.
