Celestis, established in 1994, offers a uniquely compelling memorial experience by launching a symbolic portion of cremated remains into near-space, Earth orbit, the lunar surface, or beyond. Participants, including notable individuals such as astronauts, actors, and scientists, become part of a real space mission, riding alongside commercial or scientific satellites. Celestis Memorial Spaceflights provide a profound and awe-inspiring tribute for those who love science fiction, marvel at space, or simply long to be connected with the cosmos. Each launch is a commemoration of love, attended by friends and family from around the world. The celebration includes launch site tours, interactions with astronauts and space experts, and a memorial service where families share life stories and contemplate the upcoming launch. With an easy-to-use tracking tool, family and friends can follow the mission's progress as the Celestis satellite orbits the Earth or ventures into deep space, allowing for additional remembrances and celebrations. Celestis also offers the opportunity to launch one's DNA into space through their Celestis DNA service, providing a unique way to celebrate life.Generated from the website
