A new Forever Remembered memorial at the Kennedy Space Center’s Visitor Complex in Cape Canaveral, Fla., honors the 14 men and women who lost their lives aboard the Space Shuttles Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. The memorial opened in June 2015 and was a result of the collaboration between NASA and the families of the fallen crewmembers. The nearly 2,000-square-foot memorial features photographs, video footage, personal mementos of the flight crews, and, in a poignant tribute, recovered wreckage from both of the orbiters, which has never before been on display for the public.

As part of the Forever Remembered exhibit, three multiscreen Ultra HD video displays each depict a different stage of recovery in the aftermath of the accidents. “Emotional Recovery” shows children’s cards and letters that were sent to NASA after each accident. “Physical Recovery” includes NASA’s collection and analysis of debris from the two shuttles, and “Return to Flight” features footage of subsequent missions that followed the investigations into the Challenger and Columbia disasters.
