Celestis offers a distinctive way for individuals to pay tribute to the memory of their departed loved ones—by sending their ashes into space.

This groundbreaking service, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, facilitates the journey of cremated remains into space by securely enclosing them in specialized containers placed within a sealed tube or spacecraft integrated into a rocket, typically designated to launch a satellite into orbit.

One notable Celestis mission, the "Explorers Flight," carried participants from around the globe, including distinguished figures such as Star Trek actor James "Scotty" Doohan and astronaut L. Gordon Cooper, Jr., one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts.
