Since Bob Allgeier asked….I thought I would share the below info. with you all.    If any of you that are volunteering still at Space Center Houston and have better insight into the planned schedule for opening access to the public of the assembled Orbiter/SCA    let me know.

 

Also,,,,as I told Bob, I believe NaSA retirees can still get into SCH free with free parking with your NASA retiree badge, not sure about Retired NaSA contractors. 

 

Also, the best price for SCH tickets for your guest in town who wish to visit SCH   is still at the JSC Credit Union available to JSC Credit Union members.

 

 

From the Space Center Houston webpage

 

 

Space Center Houston is building an exciting new $12 million complex to celebrate Houston's leading role in space exploration!  This new Texas landmark will be the first place in the world where visitors can see the full-scale Space Shuttle model and iconic Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA-905) in classic piggyback configuration.

Scheduled to open to the public in February 2015, this new complex will pay tribute to Houston's leading role in the legendary Space Shuttle program.  By providing unprecedented access to the inside of the 747 Carrier and full-scale Shuttle model, the new exhibits will educate and inspire visitors of all ages.  The new complex will also provide new opportunities to expand Space Center Houston's award-winning educational programs, inspiring students to pursue careers in the field of math and science.

Hi, Larry,

 

Is there a schedule for when the SCA/Independence exhibit will be open to the public?  We've got visitors coming for three weeks in July, and it sure would be a treat for us to lay eyeballs on all this.

 

I guess I need to contact SCH directly to see what's up with the Nasa retirees discount (f there is one).  I haven't been there in a bunch of years.

 

Thanks,

 

Bob
