Endeavour Takes Center Stage as LA Opens New Samuel Oschin Air & Space Center

California Science Center has completed the $450 million Samuel Oschin Air & Space Center, a 200,000-square-foot expansion that will nearly double exhibit space. The centerpiece is the space shuttle Endeavour displayed vertically in a ready‑to‑launch pose, within three galleries (air, space, shuttle) and with interactive exhibits including a SpaceX Dragon and a 747 flight simulator, all housed in a diagrid-style building designed for unobstructed views. An opening date is expected this summer, aiming to debut before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

"Endeavour Space Shuttle Lifted for Final Museum Exhibit Display"

The Space Shuttle Endeavour, which last flew in 2011, has been raised into launch position at the California Science Center for the first time in over a decade as part of the construction of the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. The impressive engineering feat involved assembling the Space Shuttle components outside of a NASA or Air Force facility, and the exhibit is expected to open to visitors in 2026. This will be the only complete stack of authentic space shuttle flight hardware in existence, making the Endeavour exhibit even more significant.

"Endeavour Space Shuttle Prepared for Liftoff at California Science Center"

NASA's retired Space Shuttle Endeavour has been carefully lifted onto a 20-story-tall vertical display, creating the appearance of being ready for launch for the first time in over a decade. This marks the first time such a stacking process has been done outside of a NASA facility. The iconic orbiter is the centerpiece of the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, with construction expected to continue for another 18 months to accommodate around 100 more spacecraft displays.

"Endeavour Space Shuttle Installed in Vertical Display at Los Angeles Science Museum"

NASA's retired space shuttle Endeavour has been hoisted and attached to a huge external fuel tank and two solid rocket boosters at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, where it will be displayed in a vertical launch configuration. The 20-story-tall display, which includes authentic shuttle components, stands atop an 1,800-ton concrete slab supported by base isolators to protect it from earthquakes. The project is estimated to take up to two years to complete and will also feature about 100 other aircraft and spacecraft.

"Endeavour's External Tank Completes Trek as Exhibit Prepares for Hiatus and Upgrade"

The space shuttle Endeavour's external tank is set to begin its final journey to the California Science Center in Los Angeles, where it will be part of a new museum wing, the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. The tank will be moved and lifted into a vertical position to join the solid rocket boosters, and later this month, Endeavour will also be vertically assembled for the first time outside of a NASA or Air Force facility. This unique full-stack display aims to inspire visitors and honor the shuttle's historical significance, including missions like repairing the Hubble Space Telescope and constructing the International Space Station. The entire process will be streamed online, with the museum's construction and exhibit installation expected to take a few more years.

"LA Welcomes Reunion of Endeavour with 52-Ton Space Shuttle Rocket Motors"

Two large Solid Rocket Motors, major components of the twin Solid Rocket Boosters used to propel space shuttles into space, will be delivered to the California Science Center for the vertical display of the space shuttle Endeavour. The motors, donated by Northrop Grumman, will travel from the Mojave Air and Space Port to the Science Center, where they will be placed in temporary storage before being positioned in the upright display. The arrival of the motors marks a significant step towards the completion of the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, which will serve as a launchpad for creativity and innovation. The public is invited to witness the arrival of the motors on Wednesday.

"Endeavour's Vertical Display: First Parts Lifted for California Science Center's 'Go For Stack'"

The stacking process of a NASA space shuttle has begun again after 12 years, as the aft skirts for two solid rocket boosters were moved into place at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Over the next six months, the skirts will serve as a foundation for the rest of the space shuttle to be assembled, concluding with the mating of the winged orbiter Endeavour. The process, known as "Go For Stack," aims to create the world's only authentic ready-to-launch space shuttle stack in the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. The center is expected to open to the public in a few years and will display more than 100 aerospace artifacts.
