The Astronauts Memorial Foundation's Space Mirror Memorial, which was declared a National Memorial by the United States Congress, honors those astronauts who have sacrificed their lives for the space program.

Mission
As a living memorial to the astronauts we honor, The Astronauts Memorial Foundation will become a major influence on the future of education through the excitement of technology and space to ensure that future generations are prepared to face the challenges, both on and off our celestial home... Spaceship Earth.

The Astronauts Memorial Foundation captures the technology developed in the United States' space program and applies it to the field of education. We partner with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to provide technology training to educators throughout the nation with a particular emphasis on space-related technology. In addition, at The Center for Space Education we offer space-related educational opportunities for individuals, and, in doing so, we improve the quality of the workforce in the space industry.
