Space Shuttle Coming to NYC

The Journey

How do you bring a space shuttle to NYC to exhibit on the flight deck of the Intrepid Museum? History was made on Friday, April 27, 2012 when space shuttle Enterprise touched down at John F. Kennedy International Airport in advance of her journey and arrival to her final home at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. The shuttle will be lifted by crane and placed on the flight deck of the Intrepid where it will be on exhibit to the public starting July 19 in a temporary climate-controlled pavilion that will feature innovative elements in an exciting and immersive experience for visitors. The Intrepid continues to work on a permanent exhibit facility to showcase Enterprise that will enhance the museum’s space-related exhibits and education curriculum.

Project Enterprise

Help Build a Home for the First NASA Orbiter. The Space Shuttle’s new home at the Intrepid Museum will celebrate Enterprise’s illustrious history and create a thriving center for science, technology, engineering and math education programs designed to inspire future scientists, engineers and researchers. With a donation of $250 or more you may sponsor a star. Your star will be prominently represented in Enterprise’s temporary exhibition pavilion and in her future permanent home.
