STS 41-B Post-Flight Presentation

Two space shuttle solid rocket boosters — reusable space hardware that launched on 81 missions — are being gifted to the California Science Center to become part of the museum’s launch pad display of Endeavour.

The museum-bound space shuttle tank is coming ashore this morning in Marina del Rey, California, for offloading from its transport barge.

The last space shuttle external tank in existence, headed from the New Orleans manufacturing plant to the California Science Center for the vertical launch pad display of the retired orbiter Endeavour, has passed through the Panama Canal.
