California Science Center via Twitter: Two booster forward skirts were delivered today [Nov. 21]! They provide the critical connection between the solid rocket boosters and the external tank.These will be stored by ET-94 until we are ready to assemble all of Endeavour's components for the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center!

From Perry Roth-Johnson, curator of aerospace science at the California Science Center, via Twitter: Our external tank at needs a good wash, so we are up in a boom lift giving it some TLC. The pressure wash works like a charm... before (left) and after (right).  Got the aft dome of the external tank cleaned up, and we'll keep working our way towards the nose over the next few days.

I've seen in earlier post where this exhibit was planned for opening in 2019. Is this date still true? Haven’t seen any construction photos or does the CSC even mention it on their website that I could find. Does anyone know what the opening date is? |

The California Science Center has not released an updated schedule as to the construction of the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center or, as part of that, the vertical display of space shuttle Endeavour. When there is news to be shared, it will be posted here. |
