Celestis payload

Launch Date: June 2025
Launch Location: Vandenberg Space Force Base, California

Perseverance, the tenth Celestis Earth Rise service will fly from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California aboard a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The personalized individual flight capsules -- containing a symbolic portion of cremated remains or DNA sample -- will experience the elegant dance of weightlessness as it orbits the Earth aboard The Exploration Company’s Nyx orbital recovery vehicle and are returned to Earth for recovery. Celestis will then return each participant's flown flight capsule to the family as a keepsake. This will be Celestis' 25th overall memorial spaceflight since its founding in 1994.

Confirmation that Nyx's Mission Possible capsule has slipped to this launch instead of Transporter-13.
