Launch Date: June 2025Launch 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.
We have started the environmental tests of our Mission Possible capsule. Here are some pictures of the arrival at Airbus Defence and Space and the installation of Mission Possible in the thermal chamber.
In our new Mission Possible Customer Spotlight Series, we're featuring Celestis Memorial Spaceflights. With over 30 years of experience, Celestis offers a unique service: sending the ashes or DNA of loved ones into space, creating a special way to honour their lives. As part of our 2025 Mission Possible Flight, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights will take the ashes of over 100 loved ones on an orbital journey, creating a lasting tribute among the stars. We thank Celestis and the families of those flying with us for their trust - welcome aboard!
Lunasonde’s 6U satellite, San Xavier, is our next-stage satellite. San Xavier will fly on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Transporter-14 in summer 2025 via launch provider Exolaunch, deploying into sun-synchronous orbit. San Xavier will use our proprietary low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) radar technological stack capable of detecting subsurface mineral deposits.
The first Spacecraft is scheduled to launch on SpaceX’s Transporter 14 rideshare mission, launching no earlier than June 1st, 2025
At the end of the mission, a re-entry capsule will separate from the satellite bus and have a controlled landing while the satellite bus demises in the atmosphere. The capsule will allow for study of hypersonic environments during re-entry. An Iridium transceiver modem (model 9602D) will communicate with the Iridium constellation from the return capsule after it separates and until it lands.

Aerospacelab is under contract to produce the first small satellite platform for Xona from its recently opened facility in California. The satellite is set to be the European manufacturer’s first spacecraft in orbit for a commercial customer.Manning said Aerospacelab has reserved a launch slot for its inaugural spacecraft on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Transporter 14 rideshare mission in June.Aerospacelab aims to begin integrating the payload into its satellite platform before the end of this year.
The Mission Behind the MissionAs with all great ideas, it started with a block diagram built from bar coasters over a few beers. The math we had supported the state estimation and signal design needed for a next generation positioning constellation. The idea was simple in principle, and all the necessary blocks existed as off-the-shelf components: we had found a clear path towards providing Low Earth Orbit PNT services that would outperform the de-factor gold standard for satellite positioning technology, and at a fraction of the price. The challenge, then, was to prove it. To actually assemble the pieces, write the software, and launch the resulting system into orbit.
Space startup GalaxEye is set to launch the first-of-its-kind multi-sensor Earth observation (EO) satellite, 'Drishiti,' in collaboration with Elon Musk's SpaceX, revealed Pranit Mehta, one of the five cofounders and an alumnus of IIT-Madras, in an exclusive interaction with ET. The launch is scheduled for mid-2025.
“This will be a 150-kg high-resolution indigenously-developed satellite, and we plan to launch a constellation of five satellites, with Drishiti being the first. By this time next year, we will already be in space. We aim to position ourselves as a key provider of data across various altitudes,” he said, adding that the ready-to-launch satellite will be transported to the US.

In Project phase 1, we proposed the investigation and prototyping of a humanitarian low-cost open source satellite based communication system to mitigate the impacts of global catastrophes in the information age. We received ~$700k in funding and our initial prototype satellite is slated to be launched in June 2025 on SpaceX Transporter 14.
In collaboration with Good Ancestors (US), build and launch an emergency satellite to transmit information to regular cell phones on response interventions for a catastrophe that disables comms infrastructure (~$300k). In a scenario such as widespread nuclear EMPs, this technology could be fundamental for distributing information on how to provide basic food and water needs to the population.
Good news, we have already built the first 2u test satellite, and paid for the launch, that came in at about $230k (hardware and launch). Obviously there's a lot of free/unaccounted labor in there, and some choices that we would not make on the production units, which would be more in the $500k range most ideally. These have LoRA radios, SDR, VHF, etc
