May 6, 2026 — The NASA Langley Alumni Association (LAA)/NASA Langley Research Center Hall of Honor Committee is actively preparing for the next induction cycle, continuing a proud tradition of recognizing individuals whose contributions have shaped aerospace history.
Planning for the Class of 2027 is underway, with a focus on refining the operational procedures and expanding outreach efforts to ensure broad awareness and participation. The committee will also coordinate event planning for the summer of 2027, strengthening partnerships across NASA Langley, the LAA, and the Hampton Roads community.
A key milestone is the launch of the electronic nomination form, scheduled for September 1. This will mark the official opening of the nomination period, inviting submissions that highlight individuals with lasting impact on aerospace science, engineering, and mission support.

Langley’s Hall of Honor History
The Langley Alumni Association & the NASA Langley Research Center partnered to develop the Hall of Honor (HoH), to provide a way for distinguished LaRC researchers and managers to be honored for their exemplary contributions & careers at NACA, NASA and the nation at large in the pursuit of revolutionary scientific understanding and technological progress on the frontiers of aerospace sciences. The HoH also provides a focused opportunity for the local aerospace community to reflect on the contributions of these notable individuals who made enduring impacts on aerospace technologies. A Langley Research Center NACA & NASA HoH Committee receives & evaluates nominees & selects Honorees to be inducted into the Hall of Honor. The 1st HoH Committee selected the 1st classes per a Memorandum of Understanding by LaRC & LAA Jan 11, 2016.
