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, 2026. The ceremony will take place in the Space Shuttle Atlantis® building and then move to the Space Mirror Memorial for a wreath-laying commemoration. The ceremony will honor all astronauts who have sacrificed their lives while furthering the cause of space exploration and discovery.
2026 also marks the 40th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger tragedy.
Attendees will be given flowers to pay respects to our fallen heroes at the end of the ceremony, to leave at the fence at the Space Mirror Memorial.
