WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a media briefing at 11 a.m. EDT on  
Thursday, July 16, at the Newseum in Washington to release greatly  
improved video imagery from the July 1969 live broadcast of the Apollo  
11 moonwalk.

The release will feature 15 key moments from Neil Armstrong's and Buzz  
Aldrin's historic moonwalk using what is believed to be the best  
available broadcast-format copies of the lunar excursion, some of  
which had been locked away for nearly 40 years. The initial video  
released Thursday is part of a comprehensive Apollo 11 moonwalk  
restoration project expected to be completed by the fall.

The Newseum is located at 555 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. The news  
conference will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on  
the agency's Internet homepage.

Participants in the briefing will be:
-- Richard Nafzger, team lead and Goddard engineer 
-- Stan Lebar, former Westinghouse Electric program manager 
-- Mike Inchalik, president of Lowry Digital, Burbank, Calif.

The Newseum is a 250,000-square-foot museum of news. The exterior's  
unique architectural features include a 74-foot-high marble engraving  
of the First Amendment and an immense front wall of glass through  
which passers-by can watch the museum fulfilling its mission of  
providing a forum where the media and the public can gain a better  
understanding of each other. More information about the Newseum is
