Elysium Space is a space burial company. Burial options the company offers are Earth-orbit and then reentry burnup, lunar burial, and deep-space burial beyond the Solar System. The company was the first to offer burial on the Moon.[1]

History

Elysium Space was founded by Thomas Civeit in 2013.[2]

In 2015, a launch aboard a USAF Super Strypi rocket failed to reach orbit. The remains will be reflown in the second launch. The remains were to have orbited for 2 years before reentering and going out in a blaze.[3]

It will offer a service to launch the ashes of dead people into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that will launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, United States. This rocket rideshare will launch ashes into a Sun-synchronous orbit about the Earth. The Earth orbiting ashes will eventually have its orbit decay and return to Earth as a shooting star.[3][4]

Memorial spacecraft

Elysium Space launches the cremated remains aboard their Elysium Star space mausoleum satellites, a series of 1U cubesats. The Earth-orbiting satellites are designed to remain in space for 2 years before orbital decay brings them back to Earth as a shooting star, burning up in a blazing reentry.[5]

Elysium Space plans to use Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander for their lunar mausoleums.[6]

Elysium Space is in the early stages of planning for deep-space burials.[6]
