Event Description

On Aug. 14, the public is invited to see a giant crane lift the space shuttle replica Independence to its permanent home atop Space Center Houston's historic shuttle carrier aircraft.

This free event, Rise of Independence, will culminate as a team of skilled engineers use a crane to lift the massive orbiter to its resting place at 8 a.m. (weather permitting).

The ceremony preceding the lift begins at 7:15 a.m. There is limited viewing available on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will be postponed to another date in the event of rain or high winds, but updates will posted on both Space Center Houston's website and Facebook page.

Mark your calendar for Thursday, Aug. 14, and cheer on a chapter from NASA's illustrious history at Space Center Houston—JSC's visitor center.
