Overview
- The initial installations in the Kent Kresa Space Gallery include a Rocket Lab Electron launch vehicle, a flown solid rocket booster segment slated for a walk-through exhibit, and a Space Shuttle Main Engine.
- Officials say artifact and exhibit build-outs will continue for many months following the near-completion of the new facility in Exposition Park.
- Fundraising has reached $380 million toward the $450 million EndeavourLA goal, leaving roughly $70 million still to be raised.
- Endeavour is already displayed in a 180-foot vertical “ready-to-launch” configuration, creating a one-of-a-kind authentic shuttle stack.
- The expansion will present 100 artifacts integrated with 100 interactive exhibits across three galleries, and general admission will be free.
