A six-month journey
The museum’s Go for Stack process started in the summer of 2023. The plan is that, by the end of January, the 122-foot-long (37-meter) Endeavour will make its final trek across Exposition Park to the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center construction site.
Once there, the orbiter will be lifted into the partially constructed building by a 450-foot (137-meter) crane. The process of assembling the Space Shuttle pieces together in a ready for launch position has never been completed outside of a NASA facility before.
