Our 5 Space Program monuments are unique!
In July 1994, the city of Titusville dedicated this riverfront park named Space View Park. It provides the anchor point for the U.S. Space Walk of Fame, honoring the space program with monuments, mission plaques and bronze handprints of six of the original seven astronauts. The non-profit U.S. Space Walk of Fame Foundation constructed these monuments, plaques, and hand-prints for the park, and donated them to the City of Titusville.
The Mercury Gemini Apollo Shuttle monuments are dedicated to the workers and astronauts of these space programs. They contain the names of those workers who wanted to be listed or who someone, such as a relative, wanted to honor.
The In the Line of Duty memorial is dedicated to the workers and astronauts who lost their lives during the space program. The monument’s web page lists the engraved names and how they were lost.
NEWSFLASH: An International Space Station Pylon is planned for the Shuttle monument area. We are TAKING ORDERS for name engravings. Pylon construction is pending sufficient orders.
Come and see the names of those who helped make the U.S. space program what it is today. See the actual hand-prints of the Mercury astronauts, get your name engraved on a monument or find the name of someone you know and see it immortalized on these breath-taking monuments.
- PARKING: A good place to park when visiting the monuments is Veterans Memorial Park at the East end of Broad Street.
- Mercury: Walk directly East from the parking area. The Mercury monument and Veterans memorial are located at the river’s edge.
- Gemini: Across from the East end of Orange Street, a long walk East ends at the monument by the river. SHORTCUT: From the Mercury monument head North along the river and across the pedestrian walk over the water to the Gemini monument.
- Apollo, Line of Duty, and Shuttle are along a walkway paralleling Orange Street between Indian River Avenue and US 1. From Gemini, walk West continuing across Indian River Avenue.
