The Astronaut Hall of Fame
houses the world's largest collection of astronaut memorabilia, as well as
displays, exhibits and tributes dedicated to the heroes of Mercury, Gemini
and Apollo. The Exhibit Hall houses an historic collection of spacecrafts,
including a Mercury Sigma 7 capsule, a Gemini training capsule and an
Apollo 14 command module. In the "Simulator Station," realistic
astronaut training simulators allow guests to feel the pressure of four
times the force of gravity, ride a rover across Mars, and land a Space
Shuttle.
Kennedy Space Center Visitor
Complex acquired the Astronaut Hall of Fame in late September on behalf of
NASA and made it an official part of the Visitor Complex experience.
