Space Shuttle

On Nov. 23, 2015, a Blue Origin rocket made a historic landing.

The parts for a 1972 full-size space shuttle mockup are now about a city block closer to being reassembled and restored for display. The City of Downey, California began relocating "Inspiration."

The new home of NASA's retired space shuttle Endeavour, the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, has reached new heights and the California Science Center is celebrating with a "topping off" ceremony.

An early mockup of NASA's winged orbiters, Pathfinder was returned to its position atop a space shuttle propulsion "stack" at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

A space shuttle is standing upright for the first time in more than a decade. Cranes lifted Endeavour off a Los Angeles side street and onto an external tank with solid rocket boosters for display.

A crane will install the space shuttle Endeavour at its California Science Center home early Tuesday morning (Jan. 30), and you can watch the action live.

NASA's last-existing, built-for-flight space shuttle external tank took to the sky, briefly leaving the ground to become part of the California Science Center's space shuttle Endeavour exhibit.

The work to stand up two rockets for the launchpad-like exhibit of NASA's retired space shuttle Endeavour has been capped, literally and figuratively, with the addition of two nose cones.

Mary Cleave, who launched twice on the space shuttle before becoming the first woman to head NASA's science division, has died. Cleave was the 10th woman to fly in space and spent 11 days in orbit.

For the second time, the largest part of a space shuttle-era rocket booster has been taken vertical as part of the display of the orbiter Endeavour at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
