road trip from Los Angeles International Airport to the California Science Center in the city on. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon 'Endeavour' is seen at dawn on the launch pad on Sunday (May 24). A year later, NASA entered Endeavour's mid-deck to remove waste water tanks for reuse as a storage system aboard the International Space Station. Space shuttle Endeavour is seen on top the overland transporter beginning its two-day, 12-mile L.A. Endeavour was Authorized by Congress in August 1987 as a replacement for the Space Shuttle orbiter Challenger, which had been destroyed during an accident in 1986. In 2014, the science center opened the orbiter's payload bay doors to install a Spacehab module as a first, early step toward the shuttle's future exhibit in the Oschin Air and Space Center. This historic photo of the International Space Station and the docked shuttle Endeavour flying together 220 miles above Earth was taken by astronaut Paolo Nespoli from a departing Soyuz. 31, the public was invited inside to get its first close look at the spacecraft on display.Įndeavour has been on horizontal exhibit ever since. 16, 2012, the orbiter entered the then-new Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion, a temporary building named after the late entrepreneur and philanthropist whose family foundation made a "transformational gift" to the science center.
