NASA to Reveal New Museum Homes for Retired Shuttles Tuesday
NASA is retiring the shuttle program later this year, and nearly two dozen museums around the country are vying for the right to display one of the workhorse orbiters.
www.space.comI can’t access live updates right this moment. Here’s what I can share based on the latest public reporting I have:
- The Space Shuttle program ended in 2011, with the fleet gradually being retired and moved to museums for public display. Atlantis, Discovery, Endeavour, and other orbiters have since found homes at various museums, marking the end of operational missions and the beginning of educational exhibits.[1][3][4][8]
