Lynchburg’s astronaut, Leland Melvin, is coming to Liberty Univeristy.
Melvin is scheduled to speak at convocation on April 7 as part of his first trip to his hometown since a 13-day mission on the Space Shuttle Atlantis last month.
The university is paying to fly Melvin from Houston NASA to Lynchburg but the exact dates the astronaut will arrive and leave have not been determined.
