NASA SPONSORS INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION VIDEOCONFERENCE
 
    NASA's International Space Station Program is sponsoring a live,
interactive, 90-minute videoconference on Feb. 19, 1998, from 12:30
p.m. to 2 p.m. EST.  The program, called "Countdown to Launch," will 
give teachers and students an inside look at the soon-to-be-
launched International Space Station.

    The program will feature panel discussions on key space 
station challenges from station engineers, astronauts and 
scientists, putting students directly in touch with the people 
who soon will launch, build and work on the orbiting science 
laboratory.

    "Countdown to Launch" will be viewed by a national audience 
via satellite downlink at approximately 2,100 sites including 
schools, libraries and museums.  To find a downlink site near 
you, go to the PBS Web site at:
