on the outskirts of the city.
The shuttle, which will become the satellite missions from 1992 until 2011 a tourist attraction in the center. Most stages were built Endeavour in Southern California and was the backbone of the U.S. space program since the twenty-five space mission.

Organizers say it was not separating the shuttle wing and buildings on both sides of the road only a few inches. The workers had cut down 400 trees on the shuttle route, which extends for a distance of 19 kilometers to make way for crossing center planted more than a thousand other tree instead.
And removed some of the sources of street lighting and traffic lights and electricity poles and parking places for a temporary period.
Shell said Amija Science Center spokeswoman transfer Endeavour would cost more than ten million dollars.
The California Science Center may outweigh a number of other institutions when chosen Aviation Administration and Space Administration (NASA) as a permanent headquarters for the shuttle transmitted by NASA to retire last year after the announcement of the end of the shuttle program.The shuttle transfer from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida to Los Angeles on the back of the plane Bubisz -747 modified on 21 September last year.
The Endeavour has been built two decades ago in California and landed at the base of Edwards seven times, most recently in 2008. Endeavour was built instead of the Space Shuttle Challenger, which exploded when launched in 1986, killing seven astronauts.
Endeavour is the second shuttle untouched NASA to space museums after the oldest U.S. shuttle Discovery, which is now showing at the Smithsonian Space Center near Washington.
And the third will show the shuttle Atlantis in an exhibition hall at the Kennedy Space Center in November next. NASA had also lost in Columbia accident in 2003.
