In 1977, NASA conducted a series of tests on a new type of craft: the Space Shuttle Enterprise. Now, that prototype resides on the deck of the Intrepid in a specially designed pavilion. Visitors can walk close to and under the 180-foot-long, six-story Shuttle, the wingspan of which is more than 70 feet. Meanwhile, multimedia displays, images and artifacts will tell the story of space exploration and the Enterprise’s role in it.

Note: the Enterprise is not current on display due to damage to the museum sustained during Hurricane Sandy (as of January 2013). It reopens July 10.
