"Endeavour's External Tank Embarks on Final Trek"

The space shuttle Endeavour and its external tank are set to begin their final journey to the California Science Center in Los Angeles, where they will be featured in a new museum wing, the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. The external tank will be moved and lifted into a vertical position to be attached to solid rocket boosters, and Endeavour will follow suit by the end of the month. This will mark the first time a shuttle is assembled vertically outside of a NASA or Air Force facility. The entire process will be streamed online, and the exhibit is part of a $400 million project that pays homage to Southern California's aerospace legacy.
