NASA will provide television, still image, and social media coverage of Vice President Mike Pence’s visit to the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday, July 20 – the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
The day will begin at 11:25 a.m. EDT with Air Force Two’s arrival at Kennedy’s Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) runway.
