NASA, in partnership with the Astronauts Memorial Foundation and Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, will host NASA’s Day of Remembrance on Thursday, January 22. The ceremony will begin beneath Space Shuttle Atlantis and will honor all astronauts who have sacrificed their lives while furthering the cause of space exploration and discovery. This year marks 40 years since the Challenger tragedy.
Following brief remarks beneath Space Shuttle Atlantis, the ceremony will move to the Space Mirror Memorial for a wreath laying. Attendees will be given flowers to pay respect to our fallen heroes.
