PRESS ACCREDITATION PROCEDURES FOR 
RUSSIAN ZVEZDA (STAR) SERVICE MODULE LAUNCH

     The Zvezda Service Module, the cornerstone of Russia's 
contribution to the International Space Station, is targeted for 
launch between July 8 and 14, 2000, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome 
in Kazakhstan. 

     Zvezda (Russian for "star") is the Russian-built module that 
will serve as the living quarters for the first resident crew and 
provide control of the station until the arrival of the U.S. 
Destiny Laboratory next year.

    News media wishing to cover the Zvezda launch must request 
press accreditation no later than May 30, 2000.
