Voyager

May 2020

This flight is our May 2020 Voyager launch with ashes sent into space. Those on board rose to over 35km above the surface of the Earth, where the atmosphere reduces to a thin blue line, the curvature of the Earth can be seen and the blackness of space is prominent above.

Our Voyager launch vehicle is specially designed to protect and carry the small vials of ashes from our clients in a safe, secure way. The ashes of each passenger are contained separately, and the onboard camera films the unique view on their memorial space flight.

Our Voyager launches give people an opportunity to send a ceremonial portion of ashes into space to commemorate a loved one. We created the Voyager launch service in response to a huge number of requests from people who wanted to celebrate the life of someone who had passed with a space launch, but didn’t want to release their ashes.

In some cases, these were motivated by religious concerns about splitting up ashes; in others, we were talking to those who wanted to fulfil a loved one’s wishes of travelling into space, without having to say goodbye before they were truly ready. By creating a commemorative space flight service which carries a symbolic amount of the ashes into space and returns them, we’re able to offer a price that’s accessible to almost everyone of just £495.

It sounds incredible that you can send ashes into space for £495, and we think that’s the way it should be: incredible. However you choose to celebrate the life of a loved one, we hope it’s an unforgettable reflection of their unique character.
