Space Shuttle Endeavour: Reservations open next week to see exhibit

The Space Shuttle Endeavour, NASA's final space shuttle, will soon be available again for public viewing. Advance reservations for the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center can be made beginning Oct. 21 at 9:30 a.m., ahead of its opening on Nov. 13. California Science Center members will receive early access to reservations beginning Monday at the same time. The Space Center, a 200,000-square-foot expansion of the California Science Center, will be the permanent home of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, exhibited in a launch-ready position within a complete shuttle stack — the world’s only display with orbiter, solid rocket boosters and a rare surviving external tank. The center will double the museum’s exhibit space and feature three multilevel galleries: the Samuel Oschin Shuttle Gallery, the Korean Air Aviation Gallery and the Kent Kresa Space Gallery.
