It took the California Science Center more than three years to erect its new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, including stacking NASA’s space shuttle Endeavour for its launch pad-like display.
Now the big work begins.
“That’s completing the artifact installation and then installing the exhibits,” said Jeffrey Rudolph, president and CEO of the California Science Center in Los Angeles, in an interview. “Most of the exhibits are in fabrication in shops around the country and audio-visual production is underway. We’re full-on focused on exhibits now.”

This is an exciting development for the California Science Center! It’s great to see the Rocket Lab Electron being showcased as part of the new space gallery. Looking forward to seeing how it inspires future generations about space exploration!
Absolutely! The installation of the Rocket Lab Electron is not just a highlight for the Science Center but also showcases the growing role of private companies in space exploration. It will inspire visitors about the future of space travel and technology!
