NASA TV Airs Discussion on Removing Barriers to Deep Space Exploration

Event Format: Teleconference

Date: Tuesday, November 12, 2013

Location: Newseum, 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC US

NASA Television will air a roundtable discussion with aerospace industry leaders at 9 a.m. EST Tuesday, Nov. 12 about the progress being made toward sending humans into deep space.

The live broadcast will take place at the Newseum, 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, in Washington, and is open to visitors with paid admission.

Panelists representing NASA and its prime contractors will discuss the work being done on the agency's Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket, which will carry humans farther into space than ever before. The participants are:

-- Julie Van Kleek, vice president, advanced space and launch programs, Aerojet Rocketdyne

-- Charlie Precourt, vice president and general manager, ATK Space Launch Division

-- John Elbon, vice president and general manager, Boeing Space Exploration

-- Jim Crocker, vice president and general manager, civil space, Lockheed Martin Space Systems

Orion and the Space Launch System will provide the United States an entirely new human space exploration capability, a flexible system that can extend human presence beyond low-Earth orbit and enable new missions of exploration in our solar system.

The discussion is sponsored by TechAmerica's Space Enterprise Council in partnership with the George Marshall Institute and the Coalition for Space Exploration.

There will be time for media to ask questions following the discussion. Media wanting to attend the broadcast must contact Sean Wilson at 832-864-3518 or sean@griffincg.com by 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8.
