A group of NASA astronauts that took a piece of Tynwald Hill on a mission to the International Space Station will visit the Island later this year.

The crew manned the final journey of the space shuttle Discovery in February.

The crew includes Nicole Stott, who's married to the Island's honorary representative to the space community Chris Stott.

The visit will last for six days in July, and include an appearance at the Tynwald Day ceremony in St John's
