Brazilian Aerospace Memorial, Aerospace museum in São José dos Campos, Brazil

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 Brazilian Aerospace Memorial was created in 2004 by the DCTA (Department of Aerospace Science and Technology), the former CTA, to preserve the history of Brazil's aerospace industry. It occupies a 75,000-square-metre area opposite São José dos Campos Airport and Embraer's main plant, the company that originated within the CTA.

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 memorial faces São José dos Campos Airport, next to Embraer's main plant, on a 75,000-square-metre campus with parking and a lakeside food area. The exhibition hall and a 120-seat auditorium are on site; the outdoor area holds aircraft and full-scale rocket replicas, so allow time to walk between them.

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.
