Launching into space is a remarkable achievement, requiring the expertise of skilled engineers. A symbolic portion of your loved one’s cremated remains or DNA is carefully placed inside a flight capsule, crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum and rigorously tested for spaceflight. Engraved with their name, the capsule is integrated aboard a Celestis spacecraft and launched into Earth orbit, beginning a meaningful journey around our planet before returning through a controlled reentry as a powerful tribute to a life well lived.

Your loved one’s life story and memory become a lasting part of their legacy, permanently displayed on the Celestis website. This online tribute allows family, friends, and future generations to celebrate their life, while also honoring them during the pre-launch memorial service held near the launch site.

Join us for a beautiful, non-sectarian pre-launch memorial service hosted by Celestis in the days leading up to the launch at Cape Canaveral, FL. Each participant’s family is welcome to bring up to 20 guests to this meaningful event, where families from around the world come together to share memories, honor the lives of those on board, and connect in a supportive community of remembrance. Together, we celebrate the uniqueness of each participant and the shared journey they embark on with Celestis Memorial Spaceflights.

For those unable to attend in person, Celestis offers a live webcast of the memorial service, allowing family and friends to participate from anywhere in the world. This webcast can be easily shared with extended family and friends, encouraging a global gathering of loved ones to join in honoring each participant’s memory with heartfelt remembrances and reflections.

Watch the unforgettable moment when the rocket carrying your loved one’s flight capsule lifts off into space. The live launch webcast offers real-time access to this powerful event, allowing you and your extended family and friends to witness the grandeur of liftoff from anywhere in the world. Share this special moment widely to celebrate together as the mission begins its journey into Earth orbit.

Receive a professionally edited commemorative video capturing the highlights of the memorial service and launch. This keepsake video is designed for you to share with family and friends, preserving the beautiful moments of your loved one’s space journey and providing a lasting memento.

After a successful launch, any remaining balance of cremated remains or DNA is respectfully scattered near the launch site by experienced professionals who adhere to all local regulations.
