California Science Center's Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center in Los Angeles, California Opens to the Public on November 13: Endeavour Stands in Launch Positio
LOS ANGELES, California — The California Science Center's new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center at Exposition Park is set to open to the public on November 13, 2026, following a final media preview on October 28. The site previously carried a report of the preview event on October 27; this item reports the follow-up details and the confirmed opening date.
According to the preview coverage, the centre comprises three main galleries across four levels: the Samuel Oschin Shuttle Gallery, the Kent Kresa Space Gallery (in three sections — Rocket Science, Robots in Space and Humans in Space) and the Korean Air Aviation Gallery. Its centrepiece is Space Shuttle Endeavour, the only orbiter displayed in vertical launch position, mounted with flightworthy external tank ET-94 and a pair of solid rocket boosters, with viewing platforms at cockpit level and a glass-floor platform above. Endeavour flew 25 spaceflights from 1992 to 2011 and arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on September 21, 2012, before being towed through the streets to Exposition Park.
The space gallery also displays the Mercury-Redstone 2 capsule, which carried the chimpanzee Ham on a 16-and-a-half-minute suborbital flight on January 31, 1961, the Gemini 11 capsule, the Apollo-Soyuz command module (CSM-111), a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft that completed three orbital flights, and engineering models of the James Webb Space Telescope, Mars landers and rovers and the Ingenuity helicopter. Jeffrey N. Rudolph, President and CEO of the California Science Center, spoke at the preview, and the centre states the new facility will provide new educational opportunities for local children.
