MEDIA ADVISORY: M12-220

NASA'S MARSHBURN AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS BEFORE SPACE STATION MISSION



HOUSTON -- NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn of North Carolina, who is
making final preparations for a Dec. 19 launch to the International
Space Station, will be available for live satellite interviews from 5
- 6 a.m. CST Tuesday, Dec 4.

The interviews will originate from the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training
Center in Star City, Russia and will be preceded at 4:30 a.m., by a
video feed documenting Marshburn's mission training.

To participate in the interviews, reporters must contact Seth
Marcantel at 281-792-7515 no later than 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3.

Marshburn is scheduled to launch at 6:12 a.m., on Dec. 19 (6:12 p.m.
Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan with
cosmonaut Roman Romanenko of the Russian Federal Space Agency and
astronaut Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency. They will be
aboard the station during an exceptionally busy period that includes
the arrival of commercial and Russian resupply vehicles, and an
increasingly faster pace of scientific research.

A native of Statesville, N.C., Marshburn received an undergraduate
degree from Davidson College in North Carolina. He then earned
graduate degrees from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville,
Va., the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas, and a
doctorate of medicine from Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem,
N.C. Marshburn served in various roles in emergency medicine and as a
NASA flight surgeon before being selected by the agency as an
astronaut candidate in 2004.

NASA TV's Media Channel #103 will carry the b-roll and will be used to
conduct the interviews. It is an MPEG-4 digital C-band signal,
carried by QPSK/DVB-S modulation on satellite AMC-18C, transponder
3C, at 105 degrees west longitude, with a downlink frequency of 3760
MHz, vertical polarization, data rate of 38.80 MHz, symbol rate of
28.0681 Mbps, and 3/4 FEC. A Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) compliant
Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) is needed for reception. The
Compression Format is MPEG-4, Video PID = 0x1031 hex / 4145 decimal,
AC-3 Audio PID = 0x1035 hex /4149 decimal, MPEG I Layer II Audio PID
= 0x1034 hex /4148 decimal.
