Build the Space Exploration Memorial

The Marshall Retirees Association (MRA) is creating a Space Exploration Memorial at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.  This memorial will recognize and honor the people and companies whose dedicated teamwork made America’s space exploration possible from right here in Huntsville, Alabama. This dynamic memorial will salute these space explorers and serve as an inspiration for future generations to follow in their footsteps and take us beyond.

The Space Explorers in Huntsville have built the rockets and spacecraft which have enabled humankind’s greatest journey!  These tens of thousands of explorers, together with their families, have been the wind beneath the wings of America’s space program and the success of Huntsville and Madison County.  MRA is also developing an online database connected to the memorial that contains the names and accomplishments of these employees and contractors to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. There are plans for an interactive kiosk to be built alongside the Space Exploration Memorial where visitors can search names found on the monument and learn more about that person's specific contributions to the advancement of spaceflight.

This project will require $1.5 M to complete.  You can help MRA’s efforts by donating to the Space Exploration Memorial.  Donations can be made in honor or in memory of others and all donors will be recognized on our website  unless otherwise requested.  You can also support the MRA and Space Exploration Memorial by submitting information of those to be honored to the Memorial Database. Please follow our Facebook pages to stay up on the latest on the Space Exploration Memorial and Marshall Retirees Association.
