SUMMARY:Shuttlefest III - 3rd Annual Space Shuttle Celebration at Hyatt Place Titusville - April 13\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:UPDATES: \n\n4 of the ShuttleFest III panel discussions are available on our ASM YouTube Channel.\nShuttleFest IV scheduled for Sat April 11 – 13\, 2025 at Hyatt Place Titusville with the theme “Hubble Telescope at 35 years.”\n\n\nThanks to those who made the event a success. See you next year! \n\nThe American Space Museum will host ShuttleFest III\, our third annual celebration of the Space Shuttle Era on Saturday\, April 13\, 2024 8am – 4pm at Hyatt Place Titusville/Kennedy Space Center. The PUBLIC is INVITED to this annual event. \nWith the theme\, “More than Just Astronomy Missions\,” the event will feature space workers (and possibly astronauts) who participated in the STS-35 & 67 Astro 1 & 2\, the STS-41 Ulysses (Sun orbit) and the STS-34 Galileo (Jupiter orbit) missions. These astronomy missions had some drama involved… Ulysses and Galileo had controversial radioactive power sources and were to be launched from the Shuttle payload bay by a liquid fueled Centaur rocket. The Astro 1 mission was almost terminated in orbit because of a communications problem with the telescopes that was solved in a unique way. \nIn the works is a possible book signing opportunity\, and select vendors\, including the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and Ken Havekotte Memorabilia. The ShuttleFest “shield” artwork is provided by Tim Gagnon. \nShuttleFest III will include panel discussions such as “Art in Space” headed by world-renowned artist Chris Calle. A “Look to the Future” panel will end the event with key members of private companies and NASA. \nCost: Donations Accepted\nWe are not charging admission but would suggest a donation of $20 (or $10 for museum members). Besides being a fundraiser\, we need to cover our costs. More about Membership\nSpecial Room Rates\nIf you plan to stay at the Hyatt\, they have 10 rooms blocked.
