STS-134 crew to visit SSC

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. - The six crew members of the last scheduled space shuttle mission will visit NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center this week. The shuttle Endeavour's STS-134 mission will deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer to the International Space Station, and is slated to launch in November. Visiting on Friday will be Commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Greg Johnson, Mission Specialists Greg Chamitoff, Drew Feustel, Mike Fincke and European Space Agency Specialist Roberto Vittori. Shuttle crew traditionally visit NASA centers instrumental to the missions. Stennis has tested all of the main engines used on space shuttle missions. (Source: NASA, 06/08/10)
