The public is being invited to view the arrival as the motors are hauled off the Harbor (110) Freeway and driven along Figueroa Street and into the California Science Center on Wednesday morning.
Beginning at 7:30 a.m. the rocket motors will be hauled north on Figueroa Street from 43rd Place to 39th Street. When the motors reach Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at 8 a.m., they will pause for an extended photo opportunity before officially moving to the Science Center at 9 a.m. The Science Center will open early at 9 a.m. Wednesday for the arrival celebration.
The rocket motors are the major components of the twin Solid Rocket Boosters that were used to propel the shuttles into space, using fuel from a connected massive external tank. All of the launch components — the shuttle, rocket boosters and fuel tank — will be included in the vertical display of Endeavour at its new home in the $400 million, 200,000-square-foot
