A new research center that was planned in the 1970s, was finally built and named after Ochoa.
The asteroid 117435 Severochoa is also named in his honour.
In June 2011, the United States Postal Service issued a stamp honouring him, as part of the American Scientists collection, along with Melvin Calvin, Asa Gray, and Maria Goeppert-Mayer. This was the third volume in the series.
