RELEASE: M07-070
HOUSTON - NASA will discuss the next space shuttle mission, designated
STS-118, during a series of media briefings July 10-11 at NASA's
Johnson Space Center. The briefings will be broadcast live on NASA
Television. Questions also will be taken from participating NASA
centers.
The mission will feature the first flight of space shuttle Endeavour
since November 2002. STS-118 highlights include the addition of
another truss segment to the expanding station, the installation of a
new gyroscope on the complex and the addition of a spare parts
platform. The flight will have at least three spacewalks. It also
will debut a new system that enables docked shuttles to draw
electrical power from the station to extend visits to the outpost.
