The San Diego Air & Space Museum is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in San Diego, California, founded in 1961. It functions as a museum focused on the history of aviation and space, offering public education on science and aerospace technology while supporting innovation. The institution is accredited by the American Association of Museums as the region's first aero-themed museum, a distinction it achieved in 1986, and it maintains an affiliation with the Smithsonian. Its audience includes the general public, students, and educators seeking accessible insight into aviation history and related technologies. In 2023, the museum launched Mission Control, a mobile classroom designed to expand STEM outreach and bring programming to local communities.
