EDITORS NOTE:  NASA ACCREDITATION REQUESTS FOR STS-26 MISSION

June 2, 1988



     NASA is accepting accreditation requests for news media to
cover the Space Shuttle Discovery mission (STS-26) currently
targeted for launch in August.

     Requests for accreditation must be made by a supervisory
official other than the applicant on company letterhead, clearly
indicating the assignment (reporter, photographer, technician,
etc.) and social security number of each individual.  Freelance
writers and photographers must offer proof of assignment or
evidence of professional activity.  The accreditation will be
valid for all NASA news centers.

     Requests should be submitted no later than 30 days before
launch to:

               NASA, John F. Kennedy Space Center
               PA-PIB  Accreditation
               Kennedy Space Center, Fla.   32899

     Please indicate from which NASA location(s) you plan to
cover the mission.  The news center will open at Kennedy 5 days
prior to launch, at the Johnson Space Center, Houston, 3 days
before launch and at the Dryden Flight Research Facility,
Edwards, Calif., 1 day prior to launch.

     NASA ground rules for newspersons covering the mission are:

        o  NASA can make no travel or housing arrangements.

        o  Only working newspersons will be accredited at the
news centers.  Publishers and other news and advertising
executives will not be accredited.  These individuals should
apply to NASA Public Services Division (LP), NASA Headquarters,
Washington, D.C.  20546.

        o  Friends, dependents or relatives not covering the
mission will not be accommodated.  Special arrangements can be
made only at the Kennedy news center for dependents to view the
launch at a special dependent's site.

        o  No one under 16 years of age will be allowed at the
press site under any circumstances.  Violation of this rule will
result in cancellation of press site privileges for responsible
parties.

        o  Philatelic publications must meet the criteria of
general publications or be national publications of recognized
philatelic organizations.  Representatives of catalogs,
newsletters, local clubs or profit seeking projects will not be
accredited.  Conducting philatelic business, other than
reporting, will not be tolerated.

        o  College news media are limited to two accredited
correspondents.

        o  You must present your letter of acceptance and a photo
identification to obtain a news badge at the appropriate
center.

        o  Violation of the rules will result in the loss of
press badges and press site privileges.
