NASA has updated its media accreditation deadlines for the launch of space
shuttle Atlantis, carrying ESA's Columbus laboratory to the ISS. The launch is
now provisionally targetted for 10 January.
All US and international media who are not already accredited for Atlantis'
launch and the STS-122 mission must apply for credentials to attend the liftoff
from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida or to cover the mission from other
NASA centres.
Additional time may be required to process accreditation requests by
journalists from certain designated countries. Designated countries include
those with which the United States has no diplomatic relations, on the US State
Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism, which are under US sanction
or embargo, or which raise proliferation concerns. Journalists should confirm
they have been accredited before they travel.
No substitutions of credentials are allowed at any NASA facility.
Kennedy Space Center
All media credentials originally approved for the STS-122 mission will be
honoured when the launch takes place. The mission badges will be valid
beginning four days before launch (known as L-4) through to the end of the
mission.
- US media who already have their STS-122 mission badge do not need to take any
further action.
- US media who are approved but have not obtained their credentials
- may pick them up beginning on L-4.
- US media who do not have an STS-122 mission badge but would like to obtain
one now should apply by 20 December to Kennedy's online accreditation site at:
https://media.ksc.nasa.gov
International media
International media should note that while their STS-122 approvals will Carry
over to the launch date, the Kennedy News Center still needs to know in advance
whether they still plan to attend the launch. International reporters should
confirm to NASA that they plan to attend the launch, by e-mailing the
accreditation manager at laurel.a.lichtenberger@nasa.gov by 17 December.
Media will receive an e-mail reply confirming their status and giving detailed
instructions for badging. If media do not alert NASA by the deadline, your
credentials will not be valid for the new launch date - no exceptions will be
made.
International media who have never had an STS-122 badge, or who never received
approval to attend the launch but who wish to attend, should apply to Kennedy's
online site https://media.ksc.nasa.gov by 17 December.
