Team Endeavour

Become a part of Team Endeavour by sponsoring one of the space shuttle's thermal tiles to support the California Science Center Foundation's efforts to create the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center and sustain ongoing exhibits, programs and operations.

Just as the Thermal Protection System kept the space shuttle safe as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere, Team Endeavour donors help preserve Endeavour as it fulfills its final mission to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers and explorers.

Gift levels start at $1,000 with the option to sponsor a tile in full or through a 10-month payment plan.
