The Space Shuttle Endeavour is back on display, and the California Science Center is showing the shuttle in a new way, NPR reported. The headline of the report describes the shuttle as launch-ready.

According to the NPR summary, Endeavour has been on display in California since 2012, a period that began not long after NASA ended the shuttle program. The report places the current exhibit within that long display history, but the summary does not say when the new presentation was set up.

NPR's story was written by Mandalit del Barco and published on November 12, 2026. The summary states that the Science Center is showing the shuttle "in a new way" but does not describe what that change involves, including any changes to the layout of the exhibit, the arrangement of the shuttle, or the visitor experience.

The available material for this account is limited to the headline and summary of NPR's report. NPR did not, in the summary provided, name a city for the story, and this account does not add details beyond what that report states. Readers who want the full description of the display should refer to NPR's original report by Mandalit del Barco.
