NASA Sets Media Accreditation Deadlines for Next Shuttle Mission
NASA is accepting media accreditation requests for the upcoming space shuttle mission, STS-120. Shuttle Discovery is targeted to launch Oct. 23 to begin a 13-day mission to the International Space Station.
All U.S. and international media must apply for credentials to attend the shuttle launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida or to cover the mission from other NASA centers. To be accredited, media must work for legitimate, verifiable news-gathering organizations. Reporters may need to submit requests for credentials at multiple NASA facilities.
Additional time may be required to process requests by journalists from certain countries. Designated countries include those with which the United States has no diplomatic relations, those on the State Department’s list of state sponsors of terrorism, those under U.S. sanction or embargo or those which raise proliferation concerns. Please contact the accrediting NASA center for details. Journalists should confirm they have been accredited before they travel.
No substitutions of credentials are allowed at any NASA facility. If the STS-120 launch is delayed, the deadline for domestic media may be extended on a day-by-day basis.
