SPACE STATION LAUNCHES 10TH ANNIVERSARY WITH 2008 CALENDAR

HOUSTON - When did the U.S. launch its first satellite? What day did
the first crew arrive at the International Space Station? A new
calendar that highlights 50 years of NASA milestones and a decade of
station assembly can be downloaded at:

he colorful 2008 calendar is packed with historical tidbits and
photographs that capture the work and wonder of a decade building the
world’s largest orbiting laboratory. Each month of the calendar has a
specific theme with images, photographs, significant NASA historical
events and Web sites for educators.

“Teachers inspire. We hope this calendar also will inspire a new
generation of explorers,” said Mike Suffredini, manager,
International Space Station Program at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in
Houston.

Nearly 100,000 copies of the calendar have been delivered to
classrooms in all 50 states. The calendars have been distributed
through NASA education programs and NASA-affiliated education
networks such as the NASA Central Operation of Resources for
Educators, NASA Education Resource Centers, NASA Explorer Schools and
the Challenger Center for Space Science Education, Alexandria, Va.

NASA’s International Space Station Program office created the
calendar
to mark its 10th year of operations in orbit and to commemorate the
agency’s 50th anniversary.
