Where can I get information about the Space Shuttle? Does it still land at Dryden?
On-line source: NASA Space Shuttle LaunchesSince 1993, all scheduled landings of the Shuttle have occurred at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but occasionally, when the weather at Kennedy precludes landings there, unscheduled landings will still take place at Dryden. Normally, the decision to land at Dryden is not made early enough for people from any large metropolitan area to get to the Shuttle viewing area on Rosamond Blvd. at Edwards AFB in time to view the landing.Media representatives who wish to cover a possible landing at Edwards must fax requests for credentials to 661-276-3566 the day before a potential landing and then arrive at the Dryden External Affairs trailer outside the Dryden gate on Lilly Drive more than two hours ahead of the first possible landing.The public can call 661-276-3520 for Shuttle information, while the media line is 661-276-2564.
