space shuttle Endeavour

The Space Shuttle Endeavour will move to a new permanent home at the California Science Center later this year. It has been in Los Angeles since 2012.

The California Science Center has unveiled the Space Shuttle Endeavour in a launch-position exhibit at the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, set to open in November 2026. The display includes the external tank and solid rocket boosters, with earthquake safety measures like a 1,800-ton concrete slab. The exhibit contrasts with Atlantis at Kennedy Space Center and highlights Endeavour's readiness for launch.

The California Science Center will open a new permanent exhibit housing the Endeavour Space Shuttle in a 20-story launch position at the Samuel Oschin Shuttle Gallery in November. The $450 million expansion, part of a three-decade master plan, includes 100 artifacts and interactive science experiences, with the shuttle display opening on Nov. 13 after over a decade of planning.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour was unveiled in a launch configuration at the California Science Center's Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center after a decades-long effort. The center raised $410 million toward a $450 million goal for a new expansion featuring 100 hands-on exhibits, with public access starting Nov. 13, 2026.

The California Science Center announced that the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, housing the Space Shuttle Endeavour, will open on Nov. 13, 2026. The facility will be the only place in the world where people can view the shuttle.

The California Science Center’s Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, housing the space shuttle Endeavour in a launch position, will open to the public on Nov. 13. The 200,000-square-foot expansion includes interactive exhibits and authentic aerospace artifacts, with Endeavour displayed as the only complete space shuttle system in launch configuration outside NASA facilities.

A new museum in Los Angeles is set to display the space shuttle Endeavour in an upright position, a rare view outside of NASA facilities. Construction on the museum building has been completed, marking a major milestone for the project.
