Media Invited to Up Close Look at Engine Test Facilities for Next Deep Space Rocket

Media representatives are invited to NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi on Jan. 25 for a behind-the-scenes look at the facilities used for testing the J-2X engines that will launch astronauts on missions to deep space aboard the Space Launch System (SLS).

Journalists will have the opportunity to visit the:
– Test Control Center that manages all J-2X test-firings
– A-1 Test Stand where J-2X powerpack testing is set to begin soon
– Engine Assembly Facility where final assembly of the J-2X is completed

NASA officials will brief media on the new SLS and J-2X engine, the process for preparing an engine for testing, and what takes place on the day of an engine test.

Participants include:
– Tom Byrd, J-2X engine lead in the SLS Liquid Engines Office at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
– Gary Benton, J-2X engine testing project manager at Stennis

To attend, media representatives must contact Rebecca Strecker at 228-688-3249 or rebecca.a.strecker@nasa.gov no later than noon CST on Jan. 24. News media must arrive no later than 9 a.m. on Jan. 25 to allow time for clearance and escort on site and must be wearing flat, closed-toe shoes.

    There are a number of sbiwetes that can give you the rudiments of putting together a press release. Google: How to write a press release. The release should be written short, to the point and give a sufficient amount of details about the exhibition, including the purpose of the exhibition, people who were involved in it, a quote or two from one of them explaining its purpose, admission fee (if any). The release should be sent to the city editor and/or features editor of your local newspapers and the assignment desks of your local television and radio stations.References : I teach PR on the college level.
