Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum release
Space Shuttle Atlantis Crew Members Gather to Discuss the Final Mission to the Hubble Space Telescope at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on November 12Th

Event marks the first crew reunion for the public since their voyage on the space shuttle Atlantis.

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space museum will host a historic talk with crew members of the space shuttle Atlantis titled "Last Mission to Hubble" on Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, located at Pier 86 (46th Street and 12th Avenue) in Manhattan. The conversation is part of the Intrepid's HUBBLE@25 temporary exhibit opening on Oct. 23, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope.

When space shuttle Atlantis launched in May 2009, all involved knew the repair mission would be the final visit to Hubble — the last chance to upgrade its systems and install new equipment, including a new wide-field camera, and if successful, ensure its operational future for years to come.

Join STS-125 mission commander Scott D. Altman; pilot Gregory C. Johnson; and mission specialists Mike Massimino, Megan McArthur and Michael Good; along with moderator Charlie Gibson, journalist and former ABC news anchor, for this special reunion — the first time the members of the crew will be reunited to speak to the public about their experiences on space shuttle Atlantis. Learn first-hand about the mission's remarkable achievements, including setting a new record for spacewalking — 36 hours and 56 minutes during five spacewalks.

Tickets will go on sale to the public on Oct. 1, and to Intrepid Museum members on Sept. 29 at Intrepidmuseum.org. Space for the event is limited. This event is $20 for the general public and $10 for Intrepid Museum members.

Please note that the panelists will not be available to autograph any memorabilia at this event.
