NASA to Host Two Tweetups

During the next Space Shuttle Launch in Florida, NASA will host two Tweetups to give people an up close look at the space program.

For the second time, NASA Twitter followers are invited to view a shuttle launch and speak with shuttle technicians, engineers, astronauts and managers at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA is hosting this Tweetup for 150 people on May 13-14. Space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to launch at 2:19 p.m. EDT, May 14 on its STS-132 mission to the International Space Station.

Once the mission has launched, NASA will host an additional Tweetup at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston that will provide a different perspective of mission operations. This also will be the second mission Tweetup at Johnson.

For the launch Tweetup at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 13-14, NASA will randomly select 150 people from those who sign up on the Web. Registration opens at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 19, and closes at 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 20.
