Neil Armstrong To Be Honored By NASA At National Cathedral

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and other dignitaries will attend a public memorial service at the Washington National Cathedral to honor the life and career of astronaut Neil Armstrong on Thursday, Sept. 13. The memorial will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed online by the agency’s and National Cathedral’s websites.

The service is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT at the historic cathedral, which is known as the spiritual home for the nation. Dignitaries, community and political leaders, members of the Armstrong family and members of the NASA family, including current and former astronauts, will pay respects to the first man to walk on the moon, who died Aug. 25.

News media wishing to cover the memorial service must contact Meredith MacKenzie at meredith@rabinowitz-dorf.com by Tuesday, Sept. 11, to receive credentials to cover this service. Space is limited.

A very limited number of seats will be made available to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Those interested in attending must contact Christine Peterson at: christine.peterson@nasa.gov. Details regarding the service and participants will be released as plans are finalized.
