"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.
