Brazilian Aerospace Memorial

The Brazilian Aerospace Memorial is a museum in São José dos Campos that documents Brazil's aviation and space technology development. The collection features aircraft models, research findings, and technical equipment from national manufacturers and institutions.

The memorial was founded to document Brazil's emergence as a significant center for aviation and space technology from the mid-20th century onward. The institution shows how the country independently developed satellites and participated in international space ventures.

The memorial draws visitors interested in Brazil's role in aviation and space technology. The exhibitions show how the country developed its own aerospace capabilities and the part local engineers played in achieving international recognition.

The museum sits next to the international airport and is open Tuesday through Sunday. Guided tours are offered, and visitors should wear comfortable shoes since there is much to explore on foot.

The museum houses original aircraft and satellite components that reveal how Brazil became one of the few countries to build its own aerospace industry. Visitors can see how local engineers applied technology that later appeared in commercial and scientific missions.
