Endeavour left LAX before dawn on Friday for the 12-mile trip to its retirement home.

The shuttle will become a tourist attraction at the center. Endeavour was largely built in southern California and flew 25 missions.

Endeavour flew from 1992 to 2011 and was built to replace the Challenger, which exploded seconds into a 1986 launch in a mishap that killed all seven crew members on board. Endeavour was taken out of service at the end of the shuttle program.

The shuttle is 122 feet long and 78 feet wide and stands 5 stories tall at the tail, which police said makes it the largest object ever to move through Los Angeles. Its combined weight with the transporter was 80 tons.
