In the Samuel Oschin Shuttle Gallery, you will embark on the journey of an astronaut: 🚀 Sit inside a replica flight deck and interact with joysticks, switches, lights, buttons and pedals, like those the shuttle commander and pilot would operate 🚀 Plunge 45 feet in elevation on the Shuttle Descent Slide, experiencing the sights and sounds of a space shuttle landing 🚀 Ascend 140 feet aboard a gantry-style elevator alongside the space shuttle stack like an astronaut preparing for launch This transformative 200,000 square-foot expansion to the California Science Center will feature 100 rare and historic aerospace objects and 100 hands-on, interactive exhibits. In addition to the Samuel Oschin Shuttle Gallery, you'll investigate scientific and engineering principles of atmospheric flight in the Korean Air Aviation Gallery and launch into the universe of space exploration in the Kent Kresa Space Gallery. Artifact and exhibit installation continues before the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center is ready for liftoff.

This has been a big year for museum openings, and next month there’s another one: the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center launches November 13th. Thirty years in the making, it joins the science museum pantheon in Exposition Park. The big attraction? The Space Shuttle Endeavour in launch position, mounted upright with its boosters and fuel tank, in what feels like a cathedral to flight. KCRW's Brandon Reynolds guides us through the California Science Center's brand new wing. Original reporting by @brandon.r.reynolds 🎥: @emkopel Full story at link in bio 🔗 by @californiasciencecenter
Ah, the memories. 🥹 14 years ago today, Endeavour was unveiled in the former Samuel Oschin Pavilion so that millions of guests could see this engineering marvel up close. We made so many memories together, and now, we get to make even more in the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. 🚀 🧡 The Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center opens November 13! Let's create more space shuttle memories together—make your advance Air and Space Center reservations at our link in bio or californiasciencecenter.org/reservations. #CaliforniaScienceCenter #SamuelOschinAirAndSpaceCenter by @californiasciencecenter
