Celestis to Send Human Ashes Beyond the Moon on Deep-Space Memorial Flight in 2026
Celestis, a Texas-based pioneer of space memorial services, is preparing its next deep-space mission, Infinite Flight, scheduled for late 2026. Launched aboard Stoke Space’s fully reusable Nova rocket from Cape Canaveral, the mission will carry cremated remains and DNA samples beyond the Moon into a permanent solar orbit. Part of Celestis’s Voyager programme, the one-way journey will send memorial capsules as far as 185 million miles from Earth. Infinite Flight follows the company’s 2024 Enterprise Flight and continues nearly three decades of space-burial innovation.
