Rocket Lab Electron among first artifacts installed in CA Science Center space gallery

The last but perhaps largest step before the California Science Center can open its new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center is to populate it with artifacts.

It only just occurred to me that l've seen, up close, the LAST remaining F-20. Three prototypes were made, the first two of which crashed in 1984 and 1985, killing their pilots.

It's clearly an evolution of the F-5, but with vastly improved performance and state-of-the-art avionics. Pretty neat!

Space Shuttle Endeavour Rocket Motors Arrive California Science Center

Each measuring 116 feet in length, the SRMs completed a trek from the Mojave Air and Space port to the Science Center, where they will be part of the permanent Endeavour installation.

At the end of

#NASA’s #SpaceShuttle program, the #Orbiters were given to museums for display to the public. #Discovery went to the #Smithsonian, #Atlantis remained in #Florida the #KSCVC / #VisitorsComplex at the privately-funded #AtlantisMuseuem.
#Endeavour was given to the #CaliforniaScienceCenter, which planned to display the orbiter as if ready for launch, attached to a spare #ExternalTank and replica #SRBs.
Here, Endeavour is in the #MateDemateDevice / #MDD. The MDD lifts the Orbiter up so that the #ShuttleCarrierAircraft, a #Boeing 747, can have the Shuttle mounted on its back to fly elsewhere, or be removed from the #SCA after being returned to #KSC after landing elsewhere.
The carrier aircraft is visible just under and behind Endeavour.

Had to take a panoramic picture because the #Endeavor is too big to get in a single shot. #CaliforniaScienceCenter
