A Lasting Tribute
“Star Trek represented, and still does represent, the future we can have, a future that is beyond the petty squabbles we are dealing with here on Earth, now as much as ever, and we are able to devote ourselves to the betterment of all humankind by doing what we do so well: explore. This kind of a future isn’t impossible – and we need to all rethink our priorities to really bring that vision to life.”

Next Mission: Voyager 01
– The Enterprise Flight
The first Celestis Voyager Service – currently scheduled for launch in late 2023 - will be named Enterprise Flight in special dedication to those on board, including honored participants Gene and Majel Barrett-Roddenberry and James Doohan.
In 1976, responding to a nationwide write-in campaign of Star Trek® fans, President Gerald Ford renamed the first Space Shuttle “Enterprise,” hosting the cast and creator at the Sept. 17th Palmdale, CA ceremonial rollout of Enterprise. This merging of science fiction with reality using the global appeal of Star Trek® is once again taking place as Celestis launches Voyager 01 – The Enterprise Flight.

Enterprise Flight Mission Patch
For all of our Star 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.”
