NASA TV TO AIR 2012 U.S. ASTRONAUT HALL OF FAME INDUCTION MAY 5
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA Television will provide live coverage of
the 2012 U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame induction ceremony at 3 p.m. EDT
on Saturday, May 5. The ceremony will take place at NASA's Kennedy
Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
Joining the Hall of Fame this year are former astronauts Franklin
Chang-Diaz, Kevin Chilton and Charles Precourt. Chang-Diaz, a veteran
of seven space shuttle flights, has logged more than 1,601 hours in
space. Chilton, the pilot on space shuttle Endeavour's maiden voyage
in 1992, served as the commander of shuttle Atlantis' STS-76 mission
to the Russian space station Mir in 1996. Precourt flew on four space
shuttle missions from 1993 to 1998, three of which were to Mir. This
will be the 11th group of space shuttle astronauts named to the Hall
of Fame, bringing the total number of space explorers inducted to 82.
More than 28 Hall of Fame astronauts have accepted invitations to
attend the ceremony, including Mercury astronaut Scott Carpenter,
Apollo astronaut Walt Cunningham and space shuttle astronaut Bruce
McCandless.
Reporters interested in covering the event should contact Andrea
Farmer at 321-449-4318.
