List of inductees in the International Space Hall of Fame
This is a list of the inductees to the International Space Hall of Fame at the New Mexico Museum of Space History, in the city of Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States.[1]
The inaugural class consisted of 35 inductees. An initial list of candidates was generated by the International Academy of Astronautics and the final choices were made by the New Mexico Governor's Committee of the International Space Hall of Fame.[2]
Most inductees join the hall of fame in October, but Jack Lousma and Gordon Fullerton were inducted in March 1982 at the runway where their shuttle landed.[3] There was no induction ceremony in 1986; it was replaced with a dedication ceremony for a memorial garden honoring the people who died in the Challenger disaster.[4] In 2013, the Delta Clipper Experimental team became the first to be inducted into the hall of fame.[5]
