The Luna service places the Celestis spacecraft carrying cremated remains or DNA on the surface of our nearest neighbor — the Moon — creating a permanent memorial on a distant, but constantly viewable world.
"I miss him every day. But to this day, you know, I look up at the Moon and I can imagine him up there….” --Carolyn Shoemaker
Inaugurated in 1998 by NASA’s selection of Celestis to assist in honoring legendary scientist Dr. Eugene Shoemaker aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft, the Luna Service sends Flight Capsules of cremated remains or DNA samples to Earth’s moon.
What could be more compelling than looking up in the night sky at our glowing neighbor, knowing your loved one has completed a journey accomplished by so few? The Celestis spacecraft is a permanent lunar memorial for adventurous souls.
Celestis Luna missions also permit – for the first time in human history – off Earth storage for DNA and digital data archives. All missions are conducted in strict adherence to international and national law, are easy to arrange, and provide a performance guarantee.
Reservations are open for the Celestis Destiny Flight.
"Nobody can take those footsteps I made on the surface of the Moon away from me."
-- Astronaut Eugene Cernan, the last person to walk on the Moon
Millions once travelled to Cape Canaveral to view powerful Saturn 5 rockets lift humans to the Moon.
Today a new generation of Moon missions will carry precious cargo to the lunar surface – including Celestis Luna Flight Capsules. Loved ones and family members gather from around the world to attend a most uniquely compelling, three-day memorial service, ultimately witnessing the liftoff of a modern Moon rocket!
