Skylog: Looking Up!

AFM*Radio Special Event - LaunchPad Photo Tour!

AstronomyFM, in collaboration with A Sky Full of Stars, is pleased to announce an AFM*RadioSpecial Event, featuring a virtual tour of NASA's Launch Pad 39A!  Join us November 15, 2009, at 2100 EST (Nov. 16, 0200 UTC) for an exciting interview and Launch Pad photo tour with Jen and Andy Scheer (@flyingjenny & @apacheman), both of whom work with *NASA's Space Shuttle program.

Jen is a Shuttle Technician and founder of the Space Tweep Society.  Andy is a cryogenics lead technician at Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Launch Pad 39A.  Our program will feature Jen and Andy's narrated "walk-down" of Pad 39A (where Space Shuttle Atlantis awaits its Nov.16 launch) and a fun discussion about SpaceTweeps and life and work at KSC.

We'll also feature a live pre-show call-in from Astronomy.FM's Development Director, Louis Suarato (@LouisS), who will be on location at KSC as one of a select few individuals attending NASA's two-day Launch Tweetup.  The pre-show starts at 2000 EST (0100 UTC) and will include music, Space and astronomy news, and #STS-129 mission coverage.

Watch for presentation links here at AstronomyFM, on the A Sky Full of Stars website, and on Twitter at @AstronomyFM, @askyfullofstars, @keownrwk, and @TaviGreiner.

* Jen and Andy will be participating in this event as individuals and not as representatives of NASA *
