MEDIA ADVISORY: M11-187 UPDATE: NASA PROVIDES MEDIA INTERVIEWS FOR SPACE STATION NATIONAL LAB AWARD

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA has canceled the previously scheduled news conference on Friday, Sept. 9, about the award of the organization that will manage the portion of the International Space Station operated as a U.S. national laboratory. The briefing was canceled because the launch of the agency's GRAIL mission has been postponed until Friday morning. NASA will offer in-person media interview opportunities at 10 a.m. EDT on Friday at NASA Kennedy Space Center's Press Site in Florida. Reporters already on-site for the GRAIL launch will be able to interview: - Waleed Abdalati, NASA chief scientist - Mark Uhran, assistant associate administrator for the International Space Station - Jeanne Becker, CASIS executive director
