The Nyx capsule launched on June 23 as part of 'Mission Possible' aimed to send ashes of 166 people into space. After successfully orbiting Earth, the capsule lost communication before its planned re-entry. The spacecraft was meant to carry ashes back to Earth, but an anomaly caused it to plunge into the Pacific Ocean. Along with the remains, it also contained cannabis plant matter for a Martian Grow project studying space agriculture. Celestis offered condolences to the families of the deceased, acknowledging the loss of the flight capsules.
The Nyx capsule, launched on June 23, was intended to carry the ashes of 166 people on a final journey into space but was lost during re-entry.
The spacecraft successfully completed two orbits, but 'an anomaly occurred' during re-entry, leading to the loss of communication moments before splashdown.
The capsule also carried cannabis plant matter and seeds for a Martian Grow project aimed at studying the viability of growing cannabis in space.
Despite the loss, Celestis expressed their condolences to the families, stating, 'we cannot return the flight capsules.'
