The California Science Center had plans to get a shuttle displayed there a year before Endeavour even launched on her first flight. That's dedication for ya

The link below has a Los Angeles Times animation of how the shuttle transporter will work, particularly noting the three types of turning maneuvers, along with details of the route and the latest on viewing locations.

The last viewing location is good because you can take the Expo line (light rail), to the USC stop and walk the last bit. Bikes are allowed on the trains.

"The final chance to see the shuttle will be along Bill Robertson Lane as it approaches the California Science Center in Exposition Park about 8:30 p.m. Los Angeles police said four parking lots between Bill Robertson Lane and Vermont Avenue would be available for public viewing but encouraged people to take the Metro and arrive early." - LA Times

I plan to view it at this (at one time little published spot) now announced to everyone on this article, early Thursday before the crunch.

Quote
After rolling down Northside and Westchester parkways, the shuttle will come to a stop in a parking lot on La Tijera Parkway about 4 a.m., where it will wait about nine hours as crews widen its computerized transporters and work on power lines farther along the route.

Large crowds are expected to turn out to see the shuttle at the spot, and Los Angeles police will have extra personnel on hand to guard the spacecraft.
.

What the organizers should do is get together with the police to assemble the crowds in a line, to walk past and view it a acceptable distance, rather than a large unorganized crowd standing behind police lines and pushing for viewing..

Oh well, I see what happens.

That was fun to watch.  The CA-DOT prohibits the use of the that type of overland transporter from driving across the freeway bride, thus necessitating the use of an alternate means (i.e., the Toyota Truck).  But never the less, it's a promotional gimmick. Toyota is a significant source of contributions to the California Science Center.

Rain is in the forecast for late tonight and into early hours Friday morning.  The start of movement from the United hanger starts at 11 p.m. and onto the public streets at 2 a.m.  I'm hoping it won't being delays or issues.

They'd need about 20 cameras, remote OB and all that jazz to stand a chance of covering it.

Best hope was always going to be local stations, but none of them seem to give a crap at the moment. I'm sure when a tree protester turns up, we'll get something. ;)

5. The Collapse of the Manchester Boulevard Bridge
4. Shuttlemaggeddon on the 405
3. Riots
2. Giant Sinkhole
1. Terrorist Hijacking and Global Genocide

btw, no local LA station is currently covering. Can't see any livefeeds for this (still looking tho), which would've been nice since the perimeter is so wide around Endeavour.

Endeavour will take Westchester Boulevard to Sepulveda, where it will make its first extended stop for about nine hours in a parking lot as the first set of transformer lines are de-energized and raised.

The space shuttle Endeavour is seen atop the Over Land Transporter (OLT) after exiting the Los Angeles International Airport on its way to its new home at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, Friday, Oct. 12, 2012.

Endeavour, built as a replacement for space shuttle Challenger, completed 25 missions, spent 299 days in orbit, and orbited Earth 4,671 times while traveling 122,883,151 miles. Beginning Oct. 30, the shuttle will be on display in the CSC’s Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion, embarking on its new mission to commemorate past achievements in space and educate and inspire future generations of explorers.

I would SO MUCH rather them take their time, get it right, and not damage her in a rush to "stay on schedule."

They are taking the right course of action here: slow and steady.

Stretching Endeavour was done by CNN, so you might want to take it up with them. I'm not going to fix the aspect ratio, that would take more time than I'm willing to spend on it.

But of course, nothing prevents you from fixing the aspect ratio yourself. ;)

Fair point Chris! it is hard not to be angry though! She, the workers,the Astronauts and a beautiful dream have been damaged WAY TOO much,WAY TOO often already!
This *Early retirement* process has been TORTURE!,nothing less for those of us that loved her and NASA as it used to be.
No point going over old ground though,fact is Politicians and military should NEVER have had a say in a civilian space program,they have a lot to answer for! >:(

I am still saving your article up to read when She is finally safely in her grave,long before her time.
I want your article to be the fullstop,we have seen the wheelstops already.
Your article like many of yours that guided us through these bittersweet years will be my closure!.

Title: Re: Endeavour's street journey to CSC Viewing, Updates
Post by: Lee Jay on 10/12/2012 07:16 pm
This Manchester Boulevard Bridge crossing interests me.  To quote Robert's article, "To meet the weight distribution requirements for traveling the Manchester Boulevard Bridge, Endeavour will trade its computer-controlled transporter for a tow by a 2012 Toyota Tundra pickup truck."

There's a drawing showing the weight of the orbiter plus carrier and such is estimated at 292,500 pounds.  Okay, for round numbers, let's call it 300,000.

Worst case rolling friction should be 0.015 * weight, or 4,500 pounds.  The truck's curb weight is just a little more than that, but it's not going to be empty, it's going to have fuel and a couple of people.  Call it 5,000 pounds.

4500/5000 = 0.9.  That's the required coefficient of friction for the truck's tires given those conditions.  That's pretty high - right at the edge of what regular tires can manage on dry asphalt.  On concrete it would be tougher to make that, and the bridge is part concrete.

So, that means they either have weight in the back of the truck, they have soft tires or, most likely, that the tires on the trailer are at quite a high pressure.  That last one is likely because heavy loads (like regular semis) usually use high-pressure tires, which can reduce the rolling friction coefficient to below 0.01, thereby greatly reducing the force necessary to move them.  However, tires tend to "flat spot" when they are sitting in one place with a heavy load, dramatically increasing the friction coefficient for the first few inches.

What I'm saying is that it might take a good bit of effort for that truck to get her rolling if the tires are flat-spotted a bit, but if she does get rolling, it shouldn't be too hard traction wise to keep her rolling, despite the enormous difference in size between the vehicles.  The Tundra, on the other hand, couldn't pull her up even the slightest hill.

And expeditiously.  It might be kind of a pain to bring one or more of those vehicles in from outside, release them, and then call them back.  Probably easier to minimize the length of any interruptions (such as the ones reported overnight) to have them on standby.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, employees hold up a banner to commemorate space shuttle Endeavour's STS-134 mission as it is transported from Orbiter Processing Facility-2 to the Vehicle Assembly Building. Endeavour and its STS-134 crew will deliver the Express Logistics Carrier-3, Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, spare parts, a high-pressure gas tank, additional spare parts for Dextre and micrometeoroid debris shields to the International Space Station. Launch is targeted for April 19 at 7:48 p.m. EDT. For more information visit, http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts134/index.html. Photo credit: NASA/Frankie Martin

Endeavour and Processing Teams

08/16/2012 (http://mediaarchive.ksc.nasa.gov/detail.cfm?mediaid=61143)

Quote
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Members of the Kennedy Space Center team that processed the space shuttle Endeavour gather for a group picture shortly after the spacecraft backed out of Bay 2 of the Orbiter Processing Facility. Endeavour switched places with Atlantis which had been in Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB. In the VAB, Endeavour will undergo final preparations for its cross-country ferry flight targeted for mid-September. The work is part of Transition and Retirement of the remaining space shuttles, Endeavour and Atlantis. Endeavour is being prepared for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Endeavour was the last space shuttle added to NASA’s orbiter fleet. Over the course of its 19-year career, Endeavour spent 299 days in space during 25 missions.

That is the first of two sets of dollies to be placed under the shuttle.  Yea, I saw them earler on the street.  They are very small, surprising that the weight distribution to the smaller number of wheels compensates for the blue transport with 48 tires.

They're in the 'everyone' set.  A common reaction to being in the presence of one of them.  It must be especially interesting in that setting and it would have been fun to see an orbiter go over the 405 during the day, especially a hypothetical shot from either the northbound or southbound lanes.

Now, Twitter users can help the museum during the shuttle's trip across Los Angeles by sending out a tweet using the hashtag #TundraEndeavor. Toyota will donate $50 for every tweet with that hashtag. The automaker is also said to be donating north of seven figures to the expansion of the museum that will house the shuttle and the relatively little truck that towed it.

Interesting that the driver said he can't stop and re-start.  Maybe the truck can't handle more than one acceleration of the load?  Would be pretty embarrassing to Toyota if the truck breaks!

ENDEAVOUR'S TRIP BEGINS THROUGH STREETS OF LOS ANGELES

Published on Oct 12, 2012 by NASAtelevision

The trip of Space Shuttle Endeavour from Los Angeles International Airport through the streets of Los Angeles to the California Science Center began early in the morning local time when NASA's youngest orbiter left a United Airlines hangar in which it had been staged since arriving at LAX on September 21.

I was actually very emotional when Endeavour landed so didn't quite catch the name of the woman speaking during the short ceremony. I think that was Lynda Oschin, who really spoke from her heart that day. Been trying to find a video of that ceremony, thanks to CollectSPACE (http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-092412a.html), here is part of what she said:

Quote
"This is my husband's dream, his vision and his passion, everything he loved and believed in, rolled into one," said Lynda Oschin at LAX on Friday after the shuttle and SCA taxiied to a stop.

"One day, a child will walk in to the new 20-story Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center," she continued. "That child will look up in sheer, utter amazement when he sees the Endeavour in the launch position, and that child will be so inspired to lead the way for the future of the United States and for the future of our world."

I just got back from a pretty incredible day with Endeavour.  It doesn't/can't beat my ferry flight thread (http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=29966.0 for L2 members), but it was pretty cool all the same.  Started with an overflight at 10500' while she was coming out of the parking lot on Manchester, then another pass at 3500'.  Then got on the ground at the corner of Olive and Manchester for a nose on view of her coming down the street.  The plan was to maybe stick around and get a shot of Endeavour by the Randy's Donut sign, and then head home for dinner.  Well, one thing led to another, and we wound up staying until the Manchester bridge crossing at midnight.  From the corner of La Cienega and Manchester, a few hundred folks got to watch a wingtip pass within maybe 20-30 feet!

One unfortunate thing: At Randy's Donuts, we found the mini-shuttle had been removed from the donut hole :( 

I'll have more later, but here are a few shots from the day:
- Down Manchester from Olive St.
- La Cienega and Manchester at sunset
- Where I left Endeavour at La Cienega and Manchester after the bridge crossing.

Yes, it's a camera. It was mentioned as part of the film production for Toyota and the Science Center...

It appears that America does like space. Look at the herd of cameras!
It's nice to see the enthusiasm, but to be fair it's a local spectacle.  Los Angeles wasn't quite as interested in the flyovers in Washington and New York.  And vice versa.  The irony that this comes in forced retirement isn't lost on some of the spectators there.

It is Bernard Parks, L.A. City Councilman.  They are crossing the border from Inglewood into Los Angeles.  Parks was thanking Inglewood for doing a great job.  They are probably doing a transition briefing for the L.A. agencies before proceeding across 79th Street.

No.  If you zoom into that picture you will see the tree way behind that is making it look like the edge is tattered.  It's not.

I've operated a vehicle with similar all-wheel controls to this one, and it's a bit surprising at first just how much lateral control you have.  It's not that difficult to put it within +/- an inch of where you want it.  Enterprise on a barge behind a tug was a whole different story.

Just past Florence there is a set of railroad tracks to transverse, but that should pose no issues as was the case yesterday passing the set at Aviation Blvd.

Any news on the external tank and SRB set  Endeavour will  be displayed with? I'm curious on how she will be hoisted and bolted to the rest of the stack as well as show the stack standing in launch ready mode.
Nothing new -- they're still planning that and details are to-be-announced in the future.  The booster display elements will be kept at Dryden in the interim.

Also, these SPMTs have active suspension, and are VERY capable of handling any irregularities in the road. Even individual wheelsets can be lifted, as seen here: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=30076.msg966566#msg966566

Wonderful to see all the people.  There was so much negative news about keeping people away from the sidewalks for this event and herding them into two large viewing location.  It's appears that many property owners open their hearts out to let by-standers onto their property.

It's a challenge, but not all that difficult, to ship something over the road that's up to 16 feet wide and up to 13.5 feet tall.  The orbiter is 78 feet wide and 58 feet tall.  That sort of thing is possible, but tremendously difficult on an interstate.  Doing it through town is borderline impossible.  This exercise took a lot of planning and, as you said above, a heck of a lot of modifications!

Those SPMTs, by the way, aren't cheap.  Depending on the particulars, they can be in the quarter-million-dollar range each.  These might well be more than that, and they're using four of them.  So, it's a million-dollar R/C car with a billion-dollar payload on top.

I  am very emotionally impacted at how many people are coming out to see her, cheer her on.
The shuttle within feet of the American people, the people trying to get close as possible, the astronauts marching in front of her, the police escorting her. There is something going on here besides spectacle, this is like when the ancient Romans gave a "triumph". It's almost like something like this needed to be done.
I saw so many children brought out to see. I wish every city in America had a shuttle go down their street right now.

They are, but can be felled by disease/rot/infestation, blown down or burned, damaged by vehicles, human greed, and so forth.

But they are planted again, cared for, to live long healthy lives.

Sure, and the fact that they are alive should explain why they might need further trimming today than they did during the run-up to this operation.

If the camera position stays here, this will be a good angle to watch the Sarens crew lift the shuttle up and move the SPMT's inward.  Probably going to take 90 to 120 min to complete, so it's going to be as slow as the craw up to this point.

Here is piece from KNBC4 news on today's activities:
Quote
The 170,000-pound, five-story-tall shuttle was delayed by tree trimming, other obstacles in the roadway and regularly scheduled maintenance on the shuttle's transporter, according to the "Unified Command" overseeing the massive move.

Endeavour had idled for about an hour at one point while its attendant squad of just-in-case tree trimmers went to work. As the sun set, the shuttle was said to be five hours behind schedule, according to Unified Command.

It was expected to arrive at the science center at 1:30 a.m. Sunday, after its planned 8:30 p.m. Saturday arrival. Authorities said the schedule remained fluid.

Before 8 p.m., Endeavour was expected to stop at Crenshaw and Martin Luther King Jr. boulevards for about 90 minutes to change the configuration of its transporter, according to Los Angeles police.

The next section of travel  (Crenshaw and MLK to MLK and CSC) has trees that, under ordinarily circumstances would have been cut down, but because these were planted in respect to MLK, the trees will be saved, but entailing extra effort on maneuvering  to around them.  Also, it's now dark complicating matters.

Position the hydraulic lifts are in progress.

What is being lifted are the blue steel cross members.  Not the shuttle directly.  In all, it's just a few inches, enough to clearance to move the translate the SPMT's to the middle.

I can understand the TV crew point of view.  The prime late night news segments start at 10:00 p.m. ending at 11:30 p.m. local time.  After that, all TV news drops off and perhaps the internet as well.  We might have to wait till TV news reports in the morning.

There are some many kids just loving this moment.  It's heat warming to listen to them about how excited they are to see this.  NASA should have brought in Endeavour toys to sell.  Especially since the pre X-mas (selling) season start in two weeks

KCAL-9 new reporter states 15 mins before moving again.  I don't think so, the jacks have not been moved yet. 

Also, estimate is 5 hours to make the 3 mile remaining distance.

New estimate is now 5 a.m. Local Time.  PDT.

That makes sense as it will take 5 hours to go the last 3 miles and there is at least an hour left on the SPMT re-oriented.  It's 11  p.m. local time right now.

California Science Center President Jeffrey N. Rudolph said that once the shuttle leaves the intersection, it will take at least six hours for it to reach the museum, which is 2.6 miles away. And it could take longer.

The shuttle was supposed to have arrived at the California Science Center at 9 p.m. Saturday, but the delays have meant that Endeavour could arrive past 8 a.m. Sunday -- and perhaps even later.

It's a reflection on the lens. It is so shaky because of the stablizer - the camera (or actually some of the lens elements) moves in relation to the chopper.

Only at the intersection of MLK and Leimert, so not even a quarter of the way down MLK. It is really going slow tonight.
As noted they probably weren't planning to do this part of the trip in the dark.


It is true that it takes longer when it is dark but they where still planning to arrive at 9pm yesterday, well after dark so they had to travel some distance at night.

Like the commentator said, MLK gets a little wider after it merged with Leimert so that should make it easier. And by the time it gets narrower again the sun might be up.

That should have made it easer, sunset is before 7pm but as long as they would have been able to pass Leimart before that they should have been able to be at the CSC yesterday.

The start time is accurate. The end time is up to you really, it depends on how you look at things. She's still not in the hangar. She crossed that 'finish line shortly before 1 p.m.

They might also drive her inside with the wide config. She needs to be jacked up anyway, and those SPMTs could then position the shuttle accurately on the semi-permanent support in the hangar.

If they decided to jack it up inside, they would have to build the semi-permanent support under Endeavour, after the SPMTs are driven away.

So I take back my argument that jacking her up outside can't be done.  ;)

I was under the impression that the final rig was the ones used in the Toyota commercial and Endeavour would use that as it's temporary rigging until the new location is built.

At least that was the plan for the truck pull in the original plan for the commercial.

Guess they decided to skip the final Tundra pull, being 1 day behind schedule.  That's some high quality commercial footage we won't get.  With 5 years until the viewing facility is built, you'd think they wouldn't care about 1 day, but they're probably getting paid by the hour.

No, California DOT made it mandatory that the Tundra commercial and pull of the shuttle over the freeway.  Not due to late scheduling

They might also drive her inside with the wide config. She needs to be jacked up anyway, and those SPMTs could then position the shuttle accurately on the semi-permanent support in the hangar.

If they decided to jack it up inside, they would have to build the semi-permanent support under Endeavour, after the SPMTs are driven away.

So I take back my argument that jacking her up outside can't be done.  ;)

Excellent, I agree.

I was under the impression that the final rig was the ones used in the Toyota commercial and Endeavour would use that as it's temporary rigging until the new location is built.

At least that was the plan for the truck pull in the original plan for the commercial.

Here is what I mean,  Advance the video to 2:30 and listen from there.

By the way, the commercial for that Tundra pull event came out late last night.

Right, I hadn't seen that one before. Then they need to jack it up outside too, simple.

The question is if they will use the Tundra again or the fork lift being used right now to lift the beams and bring in the jacks.  We'll see what happens.

Can't believe that I'm only noticing this now: Support structure is positioned on the forward edge of the SPMTs, not nicely in the middle to balance the load evenly.

Also, another beam added with the cute forklifts.

Well, it was great to see Endeavour's journey.

First, thanks to the news agencies who participated in streaming this historic event.

Thanks to the workers with Endeavour: the tree trimmers, camera operators, directors, civil enforcement, but especially the machine operators (obviously several) who worked so skillfully day and night to bring Endeavour to her temporary hanger in complete safety. Not an easy task!

Thanks to the fans on the ground who helped cheer her on, probably ensuring the news covered this as well as they did.

Finally, to all of you & your contributions to give Endeavour such an amazing sendoff with great coverage, including this site.

Thanks,  That answer the question concerning if the other smaller dolly was going to be used to bring her into the building or just run the sarens in. 

The next question is the pedestal that will be employed to keep her raised above the floor.  Since they brought the serans into the building, then the beams will need to be jacked up again and have those large beams taken out.  I didn't think that there was enough side room in that building to remove the beams.    Hopefully someone at CSC will post a few more pictures over night.

Bryan Chan from the Los Angeles Times put together a time-laps video summary of selected locations of the move.  I wish that he had one of the MLK blvd experiences with the tight road width and obstacles.  What I found interesting was in some circumstances when Endeavour needed additional angle to get around an obstacle (tree, pole, etc) , the SPMT's could also move Edeavour up and down and tilt.

Still another Time-Lapse of the Endeavour LA Parade. This one from the Local NBC Affiliate (KNBC 4).  Unlike the other from the LA Times (see link above), this is is continuous version starting Friday afternoon from the overnight parking lot near LAX to the 405 freeway (Randy's Donuts), then part 2 from the Forum Saturday morning to the corner of Crenshaw and MLK Boulevards. (Saturday evening).    The video is very jerky because it was taken from the press car riding just ahead of the shuttle.  I think the LA Times was a bit better perpared.  Never the less, the best part of this video is through the narrow residential street (Crenshaw Lane) where the whole parade was slowed down to by-pass trees/pole.

Endeavour's Weekend-Long Journey in 2 Minutes

Quote
In 4,300 pictures and just over 2 minutes, relive the space shuttle Endeavour's slow crawl from a hangar at LAX to the San Diego (405) Freeway, to the Forum and finally to Crenshaw and MLK Boulevards. Millions of eyes watched as the retired shuttle shimmied toward its new home at the California Science Center in Exposition Park from Oct. 12 to 13, 2012.

I was stalking the California Science Center's twitter, and saw that they said that guests will have to watch a short clip about the Space Shuttle and it's program before seeing Endeavour. I hope someone films this.

Personally speaking, I prefer to go straight into the Pavilion to check out OV-105 than having to sit through some film beforehand. But that's just me. :)

I can see why!

A lot of people will be so excited to see Endeavour that they won't even pay attention to the film.

A very "clean" exhibit, unlike Discovery in the Smithsonian - CSC are just letting Endeavour do the talking.

Personally, I like it.

Am surprised though that they don't have an absolutely massive canvas of Endeavour docked to the ISS, taken from the Soyuz during STS-134. That would be cool.

Edit:

Also, this photo would be a good one to have blown up and displayed, as it shows Endeavour, the SpaceHab SM, and the ISS.

I'm sure these photos are in there somewhere - only smaller.

Great photo, Jason. I was equally excited when I saw this today.

Here's the complete gallery of today's Opening photos from SpaceFlightNow.

http://www.spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts134/121030opening/

Quite an impressive setup, especially as it's temporary. I like the displays of the SpaceHab, SSME, WCS, and Endeavour's tires.

Was also pleased to see the seismic mounts that she is attached to. I'm assuming a similar setup for the stack, when the vertical display is completed?

On the SpaceHab display, Jason, can you get a shot looking into the window where the docking tunnel was connected? I'm curious to see the interior.

Thanks,
David

The exhibit is extremely well done, including the "California Story" in the permanent part of the museum.

Science Center officials confirmed that Endeavour will be completely enclosed when in the new vertical display area, to which it is expected to be moved in about 5 years. A part of the model not shown in the SpaceflightNow picture told me where the display will be located - attached to the east side of the current building, where a single-story office complex is now located (shown in last picture, looking SE).

I've also attached an explanation of the seismic mounts in case anyone doubts the safety of Endeavour in the event of a natural disaster.

A government Transfer Order for Excess Personal Property is seen framed outside the office of President and CEO, California Science Center, Jeffrey N. Rudolph, on Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012, in Los Angeles. The grand opening ceremony for the California Science center's Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion took place on Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012. Endeavour, built as a replacement for space shuttle Challenger, completed 25 missions, spent 299 days in orbit, and orbited Earth 4,671 times while traveling 122,883,151 miles.

Looks like people will be able to walk under Endeavour after all

The decision to allow visitors to walk under Endeavour was made last minute, after Endeavour was inside the pavilion. According to CSC officials, they had not taken into account the additional height that the seismic isolators would add to the mounting pedestals. After they saw how much higher Endeavour was off the ground, they called the fire marshal and got the okay to proceed.

Fortunately, the drilling to install the planned perimeter fence hadn't yet begun and the contractor set about resizing the fence to circle just the gear and pedestals.

Very nice photos, Jason! Thanks for getting the ones of the SpaceHab interior. Nice to see that the interior is illuminated. I like that the storage racks have been loaded with cargo bags, to show a "flight-like" condition. Thanks again.

Actually those aren't cargo bags.  Those are "sleeves" in which bags are carried.

Great photos - excellent plan, CSC!

That's how you show respect to a retired orbiter! You don't just put them in a tent and hope for the best.

And I didn't know that the plan was to leave one payload bay door open in the final display concept - interesting. I like the design of the viewing tower.

Thanks Jim! I should have caught that. What I thought were "cargo bags", as I saw them, are a brownish color, instead of the white of the actual cargo bags that are transferred on orbit.

Interesting; I didn't realize that the cargo bags were stored in sleeves. Do you know if that just for SpaceHab?

Thanks,
David

2 days ago, on Nov 6th, I got the best birthday present I have ever had.  (And it had nothing to do with the election).  I saw Endeavour up close and in person at CSC.  Here's a couple of pics I got.

I got to walk underneath and I got a much better sense of its real size.  And this was the first time I got to see a shuttle closeup with its main engines.  Walking under the thing was amazing.

Endeavour will stay in her current lodgings for at least three years; perhaps longer if the new building gets delayed.

Watching that video made me realize how ironic it is how L.A could get her from the Airport to the Science Center with some of the toughest challenges and through the tightest spaces, without a scratch, and New York couldnt even get Enterprise through a bridge without her getting a chuck taken out of her.

I had some stopover time today at Helsinki airport. There's a nice photo wall about Endeavour's last journey to California.

It's in the transit bridge between the two main terminals. This is certainly seen by many passengers in a great hurry ;-) but plenty of people stopped to have a closer look or to take photographs.

The photos itself are all by NASA, so probably nothing rare or new.

'Endeavour Fest' celebrates space shuttle exhibit at California Science Center
http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-101113a.html

One year and nearly 3 million visitors later, NASA's retired space shuttle Endeavour is the focus of a celebration at its Los Angeles museum home.

The California Science Center is commemorating the first anniversary of Endeavour's delivery to its Samuel Oschin Pavilion with a celebration to thank everyone who joined in supporting the shuttle's historic journey. "Endeavour Fest" begins on Friday (Oct. 11) and runs through Sunday with special exhibits and astronaut guest speakers scheduled.


And a preview of things to come...

"We're preparing, a year from now, to put the Spacehab in the payload bay," Phillips told collectSPACE. "We have to figure out how we're going to move the attach hardware in the payload bay to where it needs to be. We have had the crew hatch open [Oct. 10] and have gone from there through the middeck into the payload bay to get an idea as to what we need."

Time has finished a timelapse video of the journey of Endeavour through Los Angeles, along with an article.

http://lightbox.time.com/2013/10/14/space-shuttle-endeavour-exclusive-timelapse/ (http://lightbox.time.com/2013/10/14/space-shuttle-endeavour-exclusive-timelapse/)

Quote
The video begins with the stacking of the shuttle atop the 747 transporter at the Kennedy Space Station in Florida and the later unstacking at Los Angeles Airport, then follows the earthbound orbiter on the  slow crawl along the avenues, side streets and residential roads of L.A. The 6-and-a-half minutes of footage are just a tiny fragment of what was supposed to be a 36-hr. trip and turned out to take four days — and from the look of the video, it’s  a wonder it didn’t take much longer. Endeavour crept along in a motorcade attended not just by police and news crews, but by a swarm of tree-wranglers and cherry-pickers, who came along to prune back or pull aside overhanging branches, power lines and suspended signs.
Quote
Andrews and his team left none of this unrecorded. Their 12 cameras captured about 500 hours — or six terabytes — of data over the course of the four days, nearly all of which they spent on the flat-bed crawler with the shuttle, getting about four hours’ sleep out of every 24. “We were up almost constantly,” says Andrews. “It was a total blur.”
