Celestis is pleased to announce our eleventh memorial spaceflight,
The New Frontier Flight, a mission dedicated to the pioneering
spirit of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Launch is currently scheduled
to occur in the first quarter of 2012 from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
This flight is an Earth Orbit Service
mission. More than 300
people from 18 countries will be memorialized on this mission.
Family members and friends of New Frontier Flight participants
will have the opportunity to participate in a memorial service for
all of those on board the mission and view the launch in person.
In addition to our mission-related activities, families may wish
to consider visiting NASA's Kennedy
Space Center, especially the Astronaut
