Plan a unique memorial experience that allows a symbolic portion of your cremated remains to one day travel into Earth orbit aboard the Remembrance spacecraft.
Reserve Your Legacy allows you to make this decision in advance, giving your family clear instructions for honoring your wishes when the time comes. The spacecraft will orbit the Earth for years, allowing loved ones to follow its journey and look to the sky as a meaningful way to remember you.
How It Works
Reserve your place on a future Space Beyond mission and receive a certificate with a unique reservation ID, along with documentation that can be included with your will or other important papers.
When the time comes, your family, loved ones, or the person managing your affairs can contact Space Beyond. A collection kit will be provided, and a symbolic portion of your cremated remains will be prepared for an upcoming mission.
Space Beyond plans to conduct missions annually, allowing your reservation to be assigned to an appropriate future launch.
What’s Included
The Ashtronaut Program includes:

Additional Details

Reservations are fully refundable at any time before the ashes are submitted. If your plans change, the reservation can also be transferred to a loved one by providing written notice to Space Beyond.
Space Beyond's first mission is planned for October 2027.
