The Aurora Flight is an Earth Rise service mission. Each Earth Rise flight affordably launches to space a personalized flight capsule carrying a symbolic portion of cremated remains or DNA. After experiencing the zero gravity environment the flight capsule is returned to Earth and to the family as a flown keepsake.
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
As the sun rises, a rocket launches with your special treasure aboard—a symbolic portion of cremated remains or DNA. It blasts into space to an altitude of more than 100 km—with all the fanfare and drama of history’s greatest launches.
And then it reaches that stunning view of the Earth from above, the spectacular point of weightlessness previously attained by astronauts like John Glenn and Yuri Gagarin. Later, the recovered capsule and professional video of the mission events are sent to the family—rare, flown-to-space keepsakes to forever commemorate this special day.
A day that will surprise you both because it’s so transformational, but also because it’s so affordable.
