"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.
