Letter from Wende DoohanClick here to read a letter from Wende Doohan about our launch schedule.

The Explorers Flight, named as a tribute to the persistence of humanity in constantly seeking new frontiers, is projected to occur in late June/early July 2008 aboard a Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) Falcon 1 launch vehicle from a site in the Marshall Islands.

The Explorers Flight, with 208 participants from 14 countries, will be the largest Memorial Spaceflight ever conducted, and will be viewed around the globe via a Web cast originating from the SpaceX Omelek Island launch facility. Check this Web page at the time of launch for a link to the Web cast.

Please note that while reservations for the Explorers Flight are closed, we are taking reservations for future Earth Orbit, Earth Return, Lunar and Voyager Flights. Click here for more information.

Given the great travel distances to the Marshall Islands, the expense, and the unpredictability of precise launch dates, Celestis will conduct the Explorers Flight memorial service in Houston, on a weekend 3-4 weeks after the successful launch.

As launch dates and times are subject to change -- even at the last minute -- we encourage you to visit this Web page often for the latest launch news: We update this Web page as soon as news develops. Launch dates and times can change due to technical, weather, or range safety issues.
