HOUSTON - NASA's first educator astronaut and former
Idaho school teacher Barbara Morgan, set to fly in
space this summer, will meet with hundreds of students
during "Meet an Astronaut Day" at Space Center Houston
Jan. 19. Morgan also will be available for in-person
and satellite interviews.

Media are invited to attend the 10:30 a.m. CST event
in the center's Northrop Grumman theater. Interview
opportunities also are available. Media should arrive
in time to attend a 9 a.m. briefing in the center's
Saturn Club that will provide background on NASA's
Educator Astronaut project.

During her session with the students, Morgan will talk
about her role on the crew of space shuttle mission
STS-118, an International Space Station assembly
flight targeted for launch June 28. Also talking with
students will be fellow STS-118 crew member Dave
Williams and STS-118 flight directors Matt Abbott and
Joel Montalbano. Morgan, Williams, Abbott and
Montalbano will be available for brief, in-person
interviews following the hour-long event.

For media not planning to attend, Morgan will be
available for live satellite interviews Jan. 19 from 4
p.m. to 6 p.m. To participate, contact NASA's Johnson
Space Center newsroom at 281-483-5111 by 3 p.m. Jan.

that role, Morgan trained with McAuliffe, who was lost
with her crew mates in the Space Shuttle Challenger
accident in 1986.
