NASA Administrator To Greet Discovery Crew, Talk With Students

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.-- NASA Administrator Charles Bolden will greet
space shuttle Discovery's astronauts on Wednesday after the crew's
planned landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Bolden will make brief remarks live on NASA Television from Kennedy's
Shuttle Landing Facility about the final mission for the agency's
longest-serving shuttle and its place in space exploration history.
Discovery has two Kennedy landing opportunities Wednesday at 11:57
a.m. and 1:34 p.m. EST. The remarks will take place about an hour
after landing, following the crew's traditional walk-around under
Discovery on the shuttle runway.

Prior to his remarks at the shuttle runway, Bolden will meet with
about 50 eighth-grade students from McNair Magnet Middle School in
Rockledge, Fla., who will attend Discovery's landing. They will
discuss the accomplishments of Discovery's final flight and the
importance of careers in the fields of science, technology,
engineering and math.
