NASA Honors Lost Astronauts Of Shuttle Challenger Through ‘Forever Remembered’ Memorial

On June 27, a permanent memorial, "Forever Remembered," was unveiled in the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. NASA and the families of the astronauts who died on missions collaborated on the memorial designed to honor them and to pay tribute to shuttle vehicles Challenger and Columbia. To emphasize the importance of learning from the past, the memorial contains a huge collection of memorabilia and personal items of both flight crews. It also includes recovered hardware from both Challenger and Columbia, never before displayed for the public.
