NASA ANNOUNCES DAILY VIDEO FEED FOR SPACE SHUTTLE RETURN TO FLIGHT

     Beginning today, NASA TV is running a special daily video feed, "STS-114 
Return to Flight Gallery," for the Space Shuttle Return to Flight mission. 
Schedule permitting it airs daily from 1 to 3 p.m. EDT. 

The Return to Flight Gallery will include a rotation of video items, including 
full-length interviews with each of the Space Shuttle Discovery crew members, 
replays of mission coverage, news briefings, b-roll and soundbites.

The STS-114 crew includes Commander Eileen Collins, Pilot Jim Kelly, Mission 
Specialists Soichi Noguchi, Steve Robinson, Andy Thomas, Wendy Lawrence and 
Charlie Camarda. It is the first Shuttle mission since the Columbia accident in 
February 2003. The crew will fly Discovery to the International Space Station. 
The mission is the first of two test flights to verify new inspection and repair 
techniques, and to deliver supplies to the Station. Discovery has a launch window 
from May 15 to June 3.

NASA TV is available on the Web and via satellite in the continental U.S. on AMC-
6, Transponder 9C, C-Band, at 72 degrees west longitude. The frequency is 3880.0 
MHz. Polarization is vertical, and audio is monaural at 6.80 MHz. In Alaska and 
Hawaii, it is available on AMC-7, Transponder 18C, C-Band, at 137 degrees west

In addition if you have a receiver capable of reception of free-to-air digital transmissions using the DVB standard in the US DBS band, you can find the same NASA-TV channel on Echostar at 119 degrees West.  On Dish receivers select channel 213.  Any Dish receiver with a current or previously activated subscription should work regardless of the current status of the account as the transmission is not encrypted.  Only cards that were previously activated in the same receiver you are now using will work.
