Space Beyond
Space Beyond, LLC is an American aerospace memorial services company headquartered in Florida. The company provides commercial space memorial services that enable customers to send a symbolic portion of cremated remains into Earth orbit aboard dedicated spacecraft.[1][2]
History
Space Beyond was founded in 2025 by Ryan Mitchell and Cynthia Mitchell. The company was established with the goal of expanding public access to space through lower-cost orbital memorial missions.[3][4]
In 2026, Space Beyond announced a launch services agreement with Arrow Science and Technology of Webster, Texas, for its first dedicated memorial spacecraft mission.[5] The company stated that the mission would launch aboard a SpaceX rideshare flight no earlier than October 2027.[6]
Operations
Space Beyond operates as a memorial spaceflight provider. Customers submit a symbolic portion of cremated remains, which are integrated into a dedicated memorial spacecraft for launch into low Earth orbit.[7]
According to the company, its inaugural mission is planned for a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of approximately 550 kilometers (340 miles). The spacecraft is expected to remain in orbit for roughly five years before atmospheric re-entry, during which the vehicle is intended to disintegrate in the upper atmosphere.[8][9]
Industry
Space Beyond operates within the commercial space burial industry, a niche segment of the broader commercial spaceflight sector. Companies in the industry provide memorial missions that may include suborbital flights, Earth-orbit missions, lunar memorials, or deep-space trajectories.
Space Beyond utilizes dedicated memorial spacecraft missions designed to accommodate large numbers of participants on a single launch.
