Just their name.
The Remembrance Roster carries your inscription, physically engraved onto the exterior of a real spacecraft, into Earth orbit. It circles the globe for years, completing thousands of orbits and traveling millions of miles before naturally reentering the atmosphere.
The Remembrance RosterWho the Remembrance Roster is for
- For the families whose loved one was buried, and have no ashes to send.
- For the Ashes to Space families who want to bring everyone into orbit, not just the Ashtronaut.
- For the person who wants to celebrate someone still alive (a parent, a partner, a child) with something genuinely extraordinary.
- For the gift that has never existed before.
- For anyone whose name deserves to orbit the Earth.
Engraved in metal
Every name in the Remembrance Roster is physically engraved, in metal, onto the exterior of the spacecraft itself.
Human-readable. Permanent. Actually launched.
Each inscription is also included in the public Remembrance Roster archive: a permanent, searchable record of every name carried aboard each Space Beyond mission.
Three ways to take part
Individual Inscription
A name in orbit. For when a name alone says everything it needs to say.
Tribute Inscription
A name and the words that belong with it. Expanded engraving space, a tribute phrase, an enhanced printable certificate, and a dedicated online tribute page. For when a name alone doesn’t say enough.
Legacy Collection
For the families who belong in orbit together. Multiple names, a group inscription, a premium mailed certificate, and a premium online tribute page. For the couples who went everywhere together. The families that never did anything separately.

A few things worth knowing
Do I need cremated remains?
No. Whether your loved one was buried, ashes were scattered, or your faith or family tradition guides how remains are handled, the Remembrance Roster offers a meaningful alternative. If you have ashes to send, see our Ashes to Space offering. If you don’t, you are in exactly the right place.
Is the engraving actually physical?
Yes. Physically engraved onto the spacecraft exterior, human-readable without magnification.
Can I honor someone who is still alive?
Yes. Many participants celebrate milestone birthdays, anniversaries, achievements, and lifelong dreams. A name in orbit is one of the most extraordinary things a living person can receive.
What if I’m also doing Ashes to Space?
The Remembrance Roster is a natural companion. Bring the whole family, Ashtronaut and all.
Will the spacecraft really go to space?
Yes. The mission flies on one of the most reliable rockets ever built. TechCrunch, CBS News, and SpaceNews have all covered the mission.
What if the launch fails?
Mission insurance is included. In the unlikely event that the launch fails to reach orbit, we engrave your inscription again and it flies on the next available mission at no additional charge.
Is inscription space limited?
Yes. Each mission has finite physical engraving capacity. Once the mission reaches capacity, enrollment for that flight closes.
Their name deserves to be up there.
