View Other MissionsFor someone who always loved space, longed to journey among the stars, or simply found peace and tranquility in the evening sky, orbiting Earth aboard a Celestis spacecraft is a truly befitting way to celebrate and remember a life.
Families from around the world traveled to Florida and viewed the launch, which occurred from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, to witness the ultimate mission of purpose – the Celestis Heritage Flight.
Celestis memorial space launches bring together people from all over the world for a compelling memorial service. The chance to share stories about a loved one on board, to make new friends, and to witness – often for the first time – the power and grandeur of a launch into space is an experience you will cherish for years.
These special memories and lifelong connections offer a great comfort for many during a time of loss.
The Heritage Flight is hosted aboard the Orbital Test Bed (OTB) satellite. OTB will orbit the Earth for up to 25 years and may be tracked on this website, joining two other Celestis spacecraft currently orbiting the planet.
ABOARD THE HERITAGE FLIGHT
Every Celestis mission has its own logo and mission patch, following the tradition of creating a unique identity for each launch dating to the earliest days of the American space program.
The Heritage Flight logo – with 16 stars recognizing the 16 Celestis missions - commemorates the lives of those on board the flight and pays tribute to all the men and women in Colorado, California, Texas and Florida who have worked so hard to bring about this historic, Earth orbit mission. A special marker honors Houston – home of Celestis, Inc.
The Heritage Flight logo is from well-known designer and illustrator Eric Gignac. Eric’s portfolio also includes co-design of NASA Space Shuttle mission patches for the STS 128 and 133 missions.
Celestis provides an easy-to-use tracking tool that lets family and friends track the mission's progress as the Celestis satellite orbits the Earth or makes its way into deep space.
Create and plan additional remembrances and celebrations as the spacecraft orbits overhead or reaches key locations.
