Kennedy Space Center Director Robert Cabana and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden officially opened the “Forever Remembered” public exhibit June 27, 2015, at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
NASA and astronaut families collaborated on the memorial designed to honor the crews lost on missions STS-51L and STS-107, pay tribute to shuttles Challenger and Columbia, and emphasize the importance of learning from the past. Challenger and Columbia astronaut family members attended the opening ceremony.
Encompassing nearly 2,000 square feet, the memorial contains the largest collection of personal items of both flight crews. It also includes recovered hardware from both Challenger and Columbia, never before displayed for the public.
