Here’s how you can reserve your time to see Space Shuttle Endeavour in its ready-to-launch position

It took 25 trips into orbit, a flight across the country, a drive along L.A.’s surface streets, a decade-long public-facing stay in a temporary tent and a crane lift into a construction site. And now finally, after 14 years in Los Angeles, Space Shuttle Endeavour is ready to greet guests in its soon-to-open permanent home.

The California Science Center announced over the summer that the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center—where Endeavour has been stacked alongside a fuel tank and boosters in a vertical, ready-to-launch position—will open on November 13. But this week, the science museum revealed the full details of how you’ll be able to visit the NASA orbiter, starting with the news that reservations will open up next week.

Timed tickets for the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, which includes Space Shuttle Endeavour, will become available on Wednesday, October 21 at 9:30am. Museum members will be able to procure their time slots a little bit earlier, starting Monday, October 19 at 9:30am. Either way, you can make them online or over the phone at 213-744-2019. You can make up to 19 reservations at a time; any more than that and you’ll need to call for a group reservation. The preexisting areas of the California Science Center will remain free and open to visit without a reservation.

The museum will initially release four months of time slots and then release additional dates at a later time—so if you want to visit by the end of the winter, you’ll want to secure your spot sooner rather than later.

If you visited Endeavour’s temporary home during the height of its popularity, then this next detail will probably sound familiar: Though the museum, including its air and space expansion, is free to visit, advance reservations will incur a $4 service fee per person. (This fee is waived for members; memberships start at $110.)

Now, you could technically avoid that fee by simply showing up to the museum to see the shuttle, but the California Science Center strongly encourages advance reservations due to anticipated high demand, and it notes that walk-up entry may be limited. (If history repeats itself, based on my experience eventually you’ll be able to just waltz up and see Endeavour for free, but expect substantial interest for a time following the opening.)

Endeavour isn’t the only thing your reservation will grant you access to: The rest of the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center is filled all sorts of other orbital and aeronautical wonders. The expansion is also home to the rocket-filled Kent Kresa Space Gallery as well as the Korean Air Aviation Gallery, which is anchored by a 747 fuselage that you can step inside of.

But Endeavour will surely be the real star here, and for good reason: I had a chance to preview the display back in June, and this just might be the single most awe-inspiring manmade landmark in L.A. The 185-foot shuttle stack is so massive that the Samuel Oschin Shuttle Gallery had to be built around it. The multi-level space offers viewpoints from as low as underneath the engines to as high as a platform above the nose of the orbiter, and a cleverly situated intro movie grants you a first glimpse of Endeavour that’s just breathtaking. We’ve been spoiled with major museum openings in L.A. this year, but the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center is easily shaping up to be the most awe-inspiring of the bunch.
