The Historic Enterprise Flight
Travel through Deep Space, leaving the Earth-Moon System
The first Celestis Voyager Memorial Spaceflight – the Enterprise Flight – is launching from Earth and traveling up to 185 million miles (297 mil km) from Earth into deep space. Participant’s DNA or cremated remains will soar on this mission into deep space on an infinite journey of tribute and remembrance.
The Voyager service is a true mission of exploration, sending the Celestis spacecraft carrying DNA or cremated remains on a permanent celestial journey well beyond our Earth-Moon system. This inaugural Celestis Voyager Service is one of the first of humanity to embark on a journey this far from home. Our Enterprise Flight provides a deep space voyage in tribute to Star Trek’s first family, creator Gene Roddenberry & Majel Barrett-Roddenberry. Traveling with them is beloved crew-mate James “Scotty” Doohan, all alongside others from around the world.

Engraving Your Name, Message, and Photos for 10,000 Years
The Celestis MindFile™ is being sent on the Enterprise Flight. It can archive over 81,000 pages of eye-readable text or pictures on a one-inch nickel disc 10,000 times faster than current focused ion beam technology for over 10,000 years!
Readable to the human eye, the content is laser-etched to one billionth of a meter onto a nickel surface, making your engraving virtually disaster-proof and withstand temperatures up to 2,651 degrees F.
Enterprise Station - Humanity’s First Outpost in Deep Space
United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) brand new Vulcan Centaur Cert-1 launch vehicle will fulfill, at long last, Celestis’ deep space mission profile. The Enterprise Flight will establish Enterprise Station, a historic first outpost representing humanity in deep space.
Once its stable solar orbit has been established, the Enterprise Flight will be renamed Enterprise Station and will be the first imprint of humanity – with its DNA, data, and memorial flights – to go beyond the Earth-Moon system, becoming part of the deeper cosmos. Moreover, it will serve as a beacon to “others” – a representation of Earth, its customs, and its culture to possible other lifeforms that may exist in our galaxy.
An Unprecedented Mission of Firsts
Here’s a look at Celestis’ upcoming Tranquility and Enterprise Flights by the numbers:
• The first flight of the Vulcan launch vehicle
• The first commercial lunar lander (Astrobotic Peregrine)
• The first U.S. lunar landing since 1972’s Apollo 17
• The first-ever outpost of humanity in deep space

For all of our Trekkie fans, Star Trek’s® influence upon the Enterprise mission can be felt deeply even in the mission’s patch, which was designed by space artist Eric Gignac. The patch depicts “the dominant star…crossed by a version of the traditional NASA astronaut logo – a shooting star borne on a winged column – signifying that all those aboard will reach space and, symbolically, become astronauts as they make their final journey among the stars.”
