The Neurolab crew will perform 26 experiments in both human and animal neuroscience for eight research teams based at universities and state agencies around the world. The STS-90 mission on the Columbia Space Shuttle is scheduled to lift off from Kennedy Space Center April 16 and return there May 3. The crew includes pilots, engineers, physicians, veterinarians and scientists. The scheduled times for the mission launch and the video downlink are subject to change. Seating for the video downlink at NC State will be limited, but the media is welcome to attend.
Reservations are necessary.
Dr. Richard Linnehan is in quarantine until the flight, but he may be available for phone interviews when he returns.
