Yesterday, the Space Shuttle Orbiter Endeavour arrived in Los Angeles after a long journey atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), the 747 specially modified to carry the Space Shuttles, which can’t fly on their own as a airplane. On October 12, they’ll start the complex operations to trasnport it to the California Science Center, where it will be exposed in the Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion from the end of October.
