Seeing construction from above, supporting Endeavour from below

We love sharing drone footage documenting progress at the Samuel Oschin Air & Space Center building site! Last Wednesday the project hit a major milestone—construction crews poured concrete for the isolator pad that will support Endeavour’s entire shuttle stack. The isolator pad is ~8 feet thick, so it was a LOT of concrete. It’s the dark gray rectangle within the rounded Shuttle Gallery in the clips below. (The Air Gallery is the yellow area; the Space Gallery is the adjacent gray area.)
