Retired shuttle. NASA’s retired space shuttle Endeavour has been hoisted into a vertical position ready to be put on permanent display at its new home, the partially constructed Samuel Oschin Air and Space Centre in Los Angeles, California. The shuttle flew 25 missions between 1992 and 2011, including the first mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope and several trips to the International Space Station. It will be displayed attached to a huge fuel tank and two rocket boosters, as though it is about to lift off. It is estimated that the project will take up to two years to finish.
