Aura Flights (Sent Into Space)

Aura Flights offer a truly out of this world memorial service, in the most literal of senses. Since 2017, we have been conducting flights to the stratosphere and back to scatter ashes in space. Our team members are passionate about bringing the beauty of space a little closer for everyone.

Unique space burial service launches their ashes to the edge of space and releases them to travel the world on a breathtaking final journey.

Our unique scattering vessel has been purpose-designed by our engineers to provide a visually spectacular scatter every time. It is carried into space by a custom-made latex balloon filled with renewable hydrogen gas. Over the course of ninety minutes, your loved one ascends to a height of 100,000 feet, above 99.5% of the Earth’s atmosphere, where you can see the curvature of the Earth and the blackness of space, before being gently scattered in front of our state-of-the-art camera. Our equipment then returns safely to Earth to be recovered by our team.

Aura Flights was created by Sent Into Space, the world’s leading experts in Near Space balloon flight. With more flights logged than any other company worldwide, Sent Into Space has an unrivalled wealth of experience and engineering know-how. All our flight systems were designed in-house and tested for over two years before public release, to ensure a perfect result every time. For more information on the comprehensive planning process that happens before every launch and the safety features onboard our scattering vessel, get in touch with one of our advisers today.
