What we do
Memories unlike any other
At Celestial Memories by OrbitPics, we send your small keepsakes above the atmosphere and give you an incredible video to keep and remember always.
Our team makes sure you get high quality video of your keepsake as it rises toward the stars. High altitude balloon technology gives a smooth climb, and we always treat your memories with dignity and respect.
Pet Memorial Flights
We send your pet's cremains into the upper atmosphere in a clear sealed ornament, then return them to you along with a video of their final journey into the heavens.
From $1,800 CAD

Pricing
Priced by weight
Prices start at $1,800 Canadian and depend on the weight and size of your keepsake.
Our balloons won't harm the environment. After the burst the pieces fall gently and biodegrade at about the same rate as oak leaves. We do not scatter human cremains, but we're happy to launch and photograph them in clear sealed ornaments, returned to you afterwards.

About us
It started as a hobby
Our hobby is high altitude photography: sending cameras to the edge of space. We began by flying Christmas ornaments and a little Elf on the Shelf. Launch by launch, we learned to fly more efficiently with reliable trackers and the best high altitude cameras. Now we have many safe, memorable launches and a list of happy clients.
