NASA also plans a 5 p.m. Moon Base news conference at the Press Site Auditorium, with Isaacman and program and science leaders discussing the agency’s planned long-term lunar outpost near the Moon’s south pole. NASA says that briefing will be streamed through its online live platforms.
On Sunday, NASA has scheduled an X-59 media gaggle at 9 a.m. in the UP.Summit Exhibit Area and a student challenge announcement at 10 a.m. at the Visitor Complex’s Rocket Garden.
