"Endeavour Exhibit Prepares for Tank Installation and Protective Shrink Wrap"

The California Science Center in Los Angeles is preparing the retired space shuttle Endeavour for a unique vertical display, mimicking its launch pad arrangement. Endeavour will be shrink-wrapped to protect it from construction debris as it is moved out of its current pavilion for the "Go for Stack" campaign. The exhibit will also feature the external tank ET-94 and solid rocket boosters. The tank lift is scheduled for an overnight operation on January 11, with Endeavour's move and lift to follow. The shuttle will remain covered until the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center's construction is complete.
