The Astronauts Memorial Foundation (AMF) honors the legacy of astronauts who gave their lives in pursuit of human space exploration. Established after the Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy in 1986, AMF ensures their sacrifice is never forgotten while inspiring future generations to reach for the stars.
Through the Space Mirror Memorial at Kennedy Space Center—where the names of 25 fallen astronauts are inscribed—and the Center for Space Education, AMF preserves their memory in both reflection and action. The Center, created in 1994 as a living memorial, provides transformative STEM education programs for students and educators worldwide. In partnership with NASA, AMF also provides free access to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for program participants, empowering learners to carry forward the spirit of exploration.
