2021 Astronaut Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
Three veteran astronauts were inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame (AHOF) on Nov. 13, 2021, during a ceremony at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. The new inductees in the front row – Michael Lopez-Alegria, Pam Melroy, the NASA deputy administrator, and Scott Kelly – were joined by other AHOF members after the ceremony. The three were inducted by former NASA astronaut and Hall of Famer Curt Brown, board chairman of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. The new inductees each received an official medal and became members of the 19th class of space shuttle astronauts to be inducted. The 2021 inductees were selected by a committee of Hall of Fame astronauts, former NASA officials, flight directors, historians, and journalists. This year’s induction brings the total number of AHOF members to 102. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
