New Mexico Museum of Space History || Alamogordo Community Survey

Hello, Alamogordo and nearby community members!

The New Mexico Museum of Space History is proud to be a member of the Alamogordo community, and we'd like your help with a project.

The museum is developing plans for our next 5 years to inspire and educate, to promote and preserve, and to honor the pioneers of space exploration. We aim to bring the history of mankind’s exploration of air and space to New Mexico and to show the world New Mexico’s key role in mankind’s past, present and future pursuit of the frontiers of air and space.

Your perspective as a community member will help us know what to work on for the next 5 years as we plan exhibits, programs, events, and more.

As a thank you for completing this survey and helping us in this important way, you have the chance to win a museum membership to help you be part of what we're doing today and beyond!
