Mission

The foundation honors and memorializes astronauts who have sacrificed their lives for the nation and space program by sponsoring the national space mirror memorial, & implementing innovative educational technology programs.

About

Upkeep and maintenance of the permanent astronaut memorial located at Kennedy Space Center. The Astronauts Memorial Foundation's Space Mirror Memorial is a unique blend of art and science and a fitting tribute to the astronauts being honored. The Space Mirror is 42.5 feet high and 50 feet wide and is constructed of mirror-finished granite. It consists of 90 granite panels that are 80 5-foot x 5-foot and 10 half sized panels. Each full panel is two inches thick and weighs 500 pounds. The sun's rays are projected through the names of the astronauts, which are engraved through the granite. The latter spaces are filled with crystal clear acrylic, minutely jagged on the front side to diffuse the light. Powerful lights illuminate the astronauts' names 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
