Twenty years ago, space shuttle Discovery soared into history with the launch of STS-114 — the first mission following the loss of Columbia. This pivotal flight marked NASA’s return to space and a renewed commitment to safety, exploration, and resilience.

Join us as we commemorate this milestone with a special astronaut panel featuring crew members who flew aboard space shuttle Discovery. Hear firsthand what it was like to be part of this historic mission and gain unique insights into the Space Shuttle program.

Confirmed Astronaut Panelists:

  • Mike Mullane
  • Bruce Melnick
  • William “Bill” Shepherd
  • Tony Antonelli

Following the panel, guests will have the opportunity to meet the astronauts and take photos.

While here, explore the legacy of the Space Shuttle era beneath the wings of Atlantis and discover how these missions shaped the future of human spaceflight.
