Space Shuttle Pavilion to Reopen July 10, 2013

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is proud to be the new home of space shuttle Enterprise and we are thrilled to be able to share Enterprise’s stories of technological innovation and human triumph. In 2012, Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum successfully transported space shuttle Enterprise to its new home in a series of carefully orchestrated movements. The journey started in April when Enterprise was flown from Washington, DC to JFK atop a specially outfitted 747. Next up, the orbiter was carefully craned onto a barge for a multi-day trip from JFK to NJ and then up the Hudson River – passing the Statue of Liberty and the Freedom Tower – to the Intrepid Museum. On July 19th, the Space Shuttle Pavilion, featuring Enterprise, opened to the public with much fanfare during SpaceFest - a five day public event featuring astronaut appearances, NASA displays, a concert and special movie screening.

Unfortunately, when Hurricane Sandy struck the area on October 29th, the Space Shuttle Pavilion was damaged. The Pavilion, as well as Enterprise, remain temporarily closed and will reopen July 10th, 2013. Until then, we share Enterprise’s history through our new exhibit entitled Space Shuttle Enterprise: A Pioneer.
