NASA’s Day of Remembrance 2026

A wreath with red and white flowers, green leaves, and white ribbon bows rests on a tripod stand with three thin metal legs. It stands in front of the Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial. The Memorial has two parts: A polished gray stone headstone with a bronze embossed plaque on it, resting on a small platform of rough gray stone. The plaque has the likeness of Challenger and the crew on it. Behind the memorial, we can see rows of white stone headstones.

The Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial is seen during a wreath laying ceremony that was part of NASA’s Day of Remembrance, Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026, at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. Wreaths were laid in memory of those men and women who lost their lives in the quest for space exploration.

Each January, NASA pauses to honor members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery, including the crews of Apollo 1 and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia. We celebrate their lives, their bravery, and contributions to human spaceflight.
