SPACE STATION CREW MEDIA EVENTS

     The two crews of astronauts and cosmonauts, sharing time
aboard the International Space Station, will take questions
from reporters Thursday, Oct. 23 at 11 a.m. EDT.

The space-to-ground news conference will last about 20
minutes. Because of limited time, only reporters at NASA's
Johnson Space Center, Houston, NASA's Kennedy Space Center,
Fla., and the Russian Mission Control Center near Moscow will
be able to ask questions. The entire event will be carried
live on NASA Television.

The event takes place during the crew transition on board the
Space Station. The Expedition 7 crew, Russian cosmonaut Yuri
Malenchenko and NASA astronaut Ed Lu, are handing over command of the Station 
to the Expedition 8 crew, NASA astronaut
Michael Foale and cosmonaut Alexander Kaleri. Expedition 8
will spend approximately six months in orbit. Spanish astronaut Pedro Duque is 
also aboard the Station on a research mission for the European Space Agency. 
Duque made the outbound trip with Expedition 8 on Oct. 18 and will return to 
Earth with Expedition 7 on Oct. 27.

NASA TV will carry the official change-of-command ceremony
Oct. 24. Live coverage begins at 2 p.m. EDT. These two events
are part of the coverage of the Expedition 7/8 Space Station
crew exchange. Coverage runs through Oct. 30.

NASA TV is available on AMC-9, transponder 9C, C-Band, located at 85 degrees 
west longitude. The frequency is 3880.0 MHz. Polarization is vertical, and 
audio is monaural at 6.80 MHz.
