Space Mirror Memorial, National memorial at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, United States
The Space Mirror Memorial features a polished black granite wall measuring 42.5 feet high and 50 feet wide, displaying illuminated names of fallen astronauts.
The United States Congress designated this memorial in 1991 to commemorate astronauts who lost their lives during NASA space exploration missions and training exercises.
The memorial stands as a testament to space exploration progress, featuring 90 granite panels that reflect both the sky and the etched names of 25 astronauts.
Visitors can access the memorial with regular Kennedy Space Center admission tickets, with guided tours available throughout operating hours from 9 AM to 5 PM.
Through specialized lighting technology, the names of fallen astronauts appear to float in space as they illuminate against the black granite surface.
