Name A Star Live launches your star name into space, making you part of a real space mission! After the flight we e-mail you a Launch Certificate, verifying that your star name has flown among the stars.

The Centennial Flight carried into space the star names of all of our customers who named stars with us on, or before, May 22, 2013.    Launch occurred on a SpaceLoft XL launch vehicle built and flown by our launch service provider for this mission, UP Aerospace.

Launch occured from Spaceport America, New Mexico – the  world’s first purpose built commercial spaceport, and future home to the SpaceShip II missions of Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic aerospace company. 

The Centennial Flight flew along a trajectory similar to that flown by Astronaut Alan Shepard when he became the first American to fly in space.  The spacecraft launched from Spaceport America, flew to an altitude of 73.9 miles (118.9 kilometers), and returned to Earth, landing at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico approximately 23 miles (37 kilometers) downrange.
