''Enterprise'' went on public display on July 19, 2012, at the Intrepid Museum's new Space Shuttle Pavilion, a temporary shelter consisting of a pressurized, air-supported fabric bubble constructed on the aft end of the carrier's flight deck.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://phys.org/news/2012-07-space-shuttle-enterprise.html |title=Space shuttle Enterprise set to open to public |work=PHYS.org |first=Alex |last=Katz |date=July 18, 2012 |access-date=November 3, 2022 |archive-date=November 4, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221104041037/https://phys.org/news/2012-07-space-shuttle-enterprise.html |url-status=live }}</ref>[[File:Enterprise nicked tail Sandy jeh.jpg|thumb|Damage from [[Hurricane Sandy]]]]

On October 29, 2012, storm surges from [[Hurricane Sandy]] caused Pier 86, including the Intrepid Museum's visitor center, to flood, and knocked out the museum's electrical power and both backup generators. The loss of power caused the Space Shuttle Pavilion to deflate, and high winds from the hurricane caused the fabric of the Pavilion to tear and collapse around the orbiter. Minor damage was spotted on the [[vertical stabilizer]] of the orbiter, as a portion of the tail fin above the rudder/speedbrake had broken off.<ref name="space20121030">{{cite news |url=http://www.space.com/18282-shuttle-enterprise-intrepid-hurricane-damage.html |title=Space Shuttle Enterprise Damaged by Hurricane Sandy |work=Space.com |first=Robert Z. |last=Pearlman |date=October 30, 2012 |access-date=October 31, 2012 |archive-date=November 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121101194400/http://www.space.com/18282-shuttle-enterprise-intrepid-hurricane-damage.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The broken section was recovered by museum staff.
