NASA ANNOUNCES CURIOSITY ROVER MEDIA EVENTS SCHEDULE

WASHINGTON -- NASA will host two media events this week to provide 
Curiosity rover mission updates. The first event is a media 
teleconference at 1p.m. EDT, today. The second event is televised 
briefing at 2:30 p.m. EDT, Aug. 22. 

The Mars Curiosity team is operating on Mars time. The Martian day is 
40 minutes longer than an Earth day, so all events are scheduled 
based on team availability. The schedule is subject to change.

as they become available. 

For teleconference dial-in information, reporters must email their 
name, media affiliation and phone number to Elena Mejia at
