The Space Mirror Memorial at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida gleams in the morning sunlight during Kennedy’s NASA Day of Remembrance. A large wreath was placed at the memorial by Kennedy Center Director Robert Cabana, Deputy Director Janet Petro, and United Space Alliance’s Vice President for Aerospace Services/Florida Site Director Mark Nappi.

The Day of Remembrance honors members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery, including the astronaut crews of Apollo 1 and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia. Kennedy civil service and contractor employees, along with the general public, paid their respects throughout the day. The visitor complex provided flowers for visitors to place at the memorial.
