Celebrating Astronauts
U.S. ASTRONAUT HALL OF FAME® INDUCTION & GALA FEATURING SPACE RENDEZVOUS
The Mercury 7 astronauts envisioned a place where the accomplishments of astronauts could be celebrated and showcased to the public. This vision led to the creation of the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame® in 1990, with the members of the Mercury 7 inducted as the inaugural class. Every year, a new class of astronauts who have pushed the boundaries of space exploration take their place in the Hall and are honored at the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame® Induction Ceremony & Gala.
In conjunction with the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame® Induction, the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation hosts Space Rendezvous which includes astronaut talks, panel discussions, and receptions in celebration of all things space exploration.
Tickets will go on sale in late January 2025!
