Space Shuttle Endeavour to Stand Vertically for First Time Outside of NASA Facility

The retired space shuttle Endeavour will be displayed in the vertical launch position at the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center in Los Angeles.
The six-month installation process will begin on July 20 and include Endeavour's external tank and booster rockets.
Once completed, the 200-foot-tall display will be the only full space shuttle stack in the world shown vertically.
The $400 million Air and Space Center will be built around the shuttle stack with no internal supports.
Endeavour flew 25 missions between 1992 and 2011 before being retired to the California Science Center.
