While we are building Endeavour's permanent home, a new addition to the Science Center called the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, Endeavour is on display in the Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Pavilion. Visits to Endeavour begin in Endeavour Together: Parts & People, a companion exhibit featuring artifacts from Endeavour and the external tank. Following your visit to Endeavour Together, you'll be directed to the Samuel Oschin Pavilion to see Endeavour.
Experience Endeavour
Endeavour goes off display in...
December 31, 2023 will be the last chance to see Endeavour on exhibit for several years until the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center opens to the public. Read updates on Go for Stack and progress on the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center.

Endeavour Together: Parts and People
Endeavour Together: Parts & People celebrates Endeavour, the space shuttle program, and the people who helped make the program possible. The exhibit also highlights the shuttle program's strong connection to California, where all the orbiters were built. Endeavour Together includes images of Endeavour under construction locally in Palmdale and Downey, as well as artifacts that flew into space aboard Endeavour. Endeavour Together also features an exhibition documenting the external tank's move from New Orleans to the California Science Center, with photos by Gil Garcetti. Don't miss the dramatic video programs showing Endeavour's move to the California Science Center, as well as the external tank's journey through the city.
