The sentencing phase of Zacarias Moussaoui's trial, in which a jury will decide whether he should receive the death penalty or life in prison for his role, is scheduled to begin Thursday.
Rudi Giuliani, mayor of New York at the time of the September 11th attacks on the US, is also expected to testify in the case against Moussaoui, a broadcast report said.
As one of four planes hijacked in the 2001 attacks, Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers revolted against their hijackers, and numerous dramatic clips of cell phone conversations between those on board and their loved ones have been publicized.
But the cockpit recording has never been released to the public. It could be made available after it is admitted into evidence in the trial. Victims' family members have until Tuesday to object to the recording's release, the court order said.
'The court is ... mindful that family members of the flight crew of passengers on Flight 93 may object to the voices of their loved ones being publicly revealed in this manner,' District Judge Leonie Brinkema wrote in the order.
Giuliani is expected to be one of the first witnesses, CNN reported, and testify on how the attacks disrupted New York City's government and services.
In their attempt to secure a death sentence for Moussaoui, prosecutors are also expected to call up to 40 family members of victims in the attacks on New York and Washington, and to play recordings of frantic calls to New York's emergency services number made after two planes hit the World Trade Center towers in the morning of September 11, 2001.
The US district attorney's office in Alexandria, Virginia, had no comment on any witnesses or possible evidence to be used in the prosecution's case.
Details of witnesses to be called by the defence are less certain, but are expected to include mental health experts to question the sanity of the defendant.
Moussaoui himself likely did the most harm to his case when he testified last week, against the advice of his court-appointed lawyers and may testify again in the second phase of the trial.
Moussaoui, a Frenchman of Moroccan descent, testified that he knew of the two planes that hit the World Trade Center towers. He said he, himself, was to have flown a fifth plane into the White House on the same day.
On Monday a jury of 12 ruled unanimously that Moussaoui was eligible to receive the death penalty prosecutors are seeking, sending the sentencing trial into a second phase, in which the actual sentence will be determined.
The jury found that Moussaoui could have prevented at least one death in the suicide hijackings, which killed 3,000 people in New York and Washington in 2001, if he had told FBI agents what he knew upon his arrest three weeks before the attacks.
