SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This collection of information supports the National Aeronautics
and Space Act of 1958, as amended, to enable NASA astronaut appearances
before a variety of groups to inform the general public about the U.S.
space program. Typically, presentations are made to high schools and
universities, community organizations, businesses and associations, or
military organizations. In order to reach as many people as possible,
NASA offers three options to choose from in requesting an astronaut
appearance:
(1) An in person astronaut appearance whereby the astronaut travels
to the appearance location.
(2) A virtual appearance utilizing virtual telecommunications tools
to connect an astronaut via video conference with your organization.
(3) A recorded greeting arranged in advance to be used during a
specified event.
The NASA Astronaut Appearance Office (AAO) located at the Lyndon B.
Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas is responsible for
vetting, processing, and coordinating logistics for Astronaut
appearances. This information will be used by the NASA AAO and Legal
and HR personnel in the vetting, coordinating, scheduling and
authorization processes to work with requestors to facilitate the
appearance logistics. Records of appearances, including the information
associated with the requestor and points of contact are maintained by
the AAO for a minimum of five (5) years.
