THE GLOBAL PIONEER IN MEMORIAL SPACEFLIGHT SINCE 1994

The Path to a Stellar Legacy

1

The journey begins by choosing the flight profile—Earth Rise, Earth Orbit, Luna, or Voyager—that best reflects the spirit of the individual. Upon initiation, you receive a professional Sample Kit and official mission credentials, marking the beginning of their path to the stars.

2

Every participant is integrated into a mission manifest alongside premier aerospace partners. This phase represents over 30 years of technical expertise, ensuring that each memorial capsule is handled with the precision and dignity required for a historic spaceflight.

3

Families are invited to join the Celestis team for a multi-day launch experience. This includes a private tour of the launch facilities, a "Memorial Service" where the stories of all participants are shared, and a dedicated viewing area to witness the powerful ascent of the mission.

4

Once the mission has cleared the atmosphere, the tribute continues. For Earth Orbit missions, families can track the spacecraft's location in real-time via the Celestis Mobile App, seeing exactly where in the heavens their loved one is traveling at any given moment.

Mission launch windows and specific timing are determined by launch provider availability and aerospace safety protocols. All scheduling updates and mission manifests are communicated directly by Celestis to ensure families have the most current information regarding their historic journey.
