See the original Galileo shuttle from 'Star Trek' in its new home at the Original Series Set Tour in New York
This iconic spaceship will now live long and prosper in its brand-new Star Trek Tour home.
Star Trek: The Original Series fans can now see the Galileo shuttlecraft in its new home at the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga, New York. After a two-year restoration project led by superfan Adam Schneider, the iconic spacecraft was relocated from the Johnson Space Center Museum in Houston, Texas. Now on permanent loan to James Cawley, the Galileo joins a family of detailed Star Trek sets based on official blueprints.
The shuttle was displayed at the USS Intrepid for the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, but it was deemed sad to have it out of sight after eight years. Thanks to a Kickstarter campaign, a beautiful building addition was constructed to house the shuttle. The restoration and display of the Galileo have been made possible through the efforts of dedicated fans and generous donations.
Opening weekend for the public was Sept. 18-20, 2026, and the shuttle was the main attraction. Branded Trekonderoga Weekend, the unveiling ceremony was attended by Assemblymen Dan Stec, Dan Simpson, and Star Trek luminaries George Takei, Jonathan Frakes, and Brent Spiner. The Galileo shuttle, a 23-foot-long mock-up designed by Matt Jefferies, represents the mid-century modern aesthetic of the original series and complements the Enterprise's silhouette.
