Hero Tributes for Veterans
Hero Tributes for Veterans
At Space Beyond, we believe that those who served our country deserve a memorial tribute worthy of their sacrifice.
Hero Tributes is our new program that invites all Americans to sponsor a spaceflight for a U.S. Armed Forces veteran, giving them a final mission to rest among the stars.
Imagine a family gathered in their backyard, holding a photo of their hero, a veteran whose courage shaped their lives. They gaze upward at the starry night sky as their loved one soars overhead in space. This is the vision behind Hero Tributes.
As Memorial Day approaches, we reflect on the courage and sacrifice of our service members. Hero Tributes offers a timeless way to honor their legacy, launching their memory into orbit as an enduring symbol of gratitude for years to come.
A Veteran’s Final Mission
For just $249, you can sponsor a veteran’s journey to space. Your sponsorship funds the spaceflight of a hero you may never have known, but whose service helped protect the freedoms that we all share.
We work with trusted veteran organizations to identify recipients from all branches and eras of military service. Once a veteran is selected, their family or custodian sends us a symbolic portion of their remains. We integrate it onto a satellite and launch it into orbit.
It’s their final mission, your gesture of gratitude, and our way of honoring those who served.
What You’ll Receive as a Sponsor
As a Hero Tributes sponsor, you will receive:
- A personalized digital certificate featuring your name and our official mission patch, a keepsake to honor your contribution.
- A heartfelt digital thank-you letter, recognizing your role in honoring a hero.
- Launch information, so you can follow your hero’s journey to orbit.
- Recognition on our Wall of Sponsors, alongside a community of others who’ve stepped forward to honor veterans.
- Access to our Ashtronaut Tributes, where families may choose to share the stories and legacies of the heroes you’ve helped send to space.
