In a scene that blends science and feelings, the American company “Celestis” is preparing to send human memories to the Earth’s orbit, within a space mission I set out On Monday, June 23, on board the SpaceX company, “Vandinberg”, California.
The capsules whose size does not exceed the comfort of the hand, will move ashes or “DNA” samples to people from around the world, on a journey around the Earth and then returns, to receive as an immortal memory of their families, to serve as an unconventional farewell method from Earth to space.
The new task bears the name “Perseviranis”, which is part of a modern cooperation between Celestess, a leader in “Space Burial” services and the European Space Company “The Explteration Companish”, which will host the souven cargo on its spacecraft in its first commercial mission.
Space burial history
The concept of space burial appeared in the nineties of the last century, as an innovative service that allows the sending of ash or human DNA to outer space, rather than burial or keeping the ramifications on Earth.
The company “Celestess” was one of the first companies in this field, since since 1997 it launched dozens of tasks that carried the remains of loved ones, celebrities, and even pets, to the Earth’s orbit, to the moon, or to deep space.
These trips vary between “tropical tasks that revolve around the Earth for a period before returning or combustion in the atmosphere”, and “under orbital tasks that go up and return, and the capsules are restored as souvenirs”, and “lunar or deep tasks in which remains remain in space forever”, which is a choice that is often associated with personalities with a passion for exploration and the universe.
Some trips carried a symbolic ashes of famous names, such as the legends of the “Star Trek” series, 4 former American presidents, and creators in the field of science fiction and cinema.
From orbit to memory
On the mission of “Persevirans”, the capsules revolved around the Earth two to three, before returning to the atmosphere and landing in the Pacific Ocean, then it was restored and handed over to the participants’ families.
This task is the second experimental for The Exploren Companish, the first to carry loads for real customers before the launch of its full tropical vehicle, “Nix Earth”, which is scheduled to be carried out at the International Space Station in 2028.
Charles Chave, CEO of Celestez, said at Statements For “Space.com”: “We are pleased to present a new type of space trips thanks to our cooperation with” The Exploren Complea “, as capsules revolve around the Earth and return, to give the participants a unique and influential experience.”
The task also recorded a historic moment, as the 3 -year -old Matteo Barth, the smallest European, will send his DNA into space, in a symbolic gesture to join his late grandfather “Dieter Barth”, who was passionate about space.
