Why Flyaway Exists

There are 90 million pet-owning households in the United States. And every single one of them will face the same inevitable moment — the moment their companion leaves.

When that moment comes, the options are limited. An urn on a shelf. Ashes scattered in a garden. A paw print in clay. These are tender gestures, but for many families, they don't match the scale of the loss. When you lose a presence that shaped your mornings, your evenings, and every space in between, a box on a bookshelf can feel like an afterthought.

Flyaway Pets was created because we believed there should be another option. Something that matches the enormity of what a pet means to the people who love them. Something that takes the love you carry and gives it a destination worthy of its weight.

We send your companion's ashes into orbit — not as a symbol, but as a real mission aboard a real spacecraft. Because they weren't a symbol. They were real. And they deserve something real in return.

Built In-House. Launched with Purpose.

Flyaway Pets is not a logistics company booking payload space on someone else's rocket. We are the spacecraft company.

Our team is a nanosatellite development group based in Nashville, Tennessee. We design, engineer, and build our own satellite platforms — small, capable spacecraft designed for low Earth orbit missions.

When your companion's ashes launch aboard a Flyaway satellite, they launch aboard a vehicle we built with our own hands, in our own facility, launched from American soil. That is a level of authenticity and control that no one else in this space can offer.

Nashville, Tennessee. Built with precision. Launched with love.

Nashville-Built Spacecraft

Every one of our nanosatellites is designed and assembled in Nashville, Tennessee. From circuit board to solar panel, from payload integration to final testing — these are spacecraft born in Music City, built by a team that believes precision engineering and deep compassion are not mutually exclusive.

When we say your companion is aboard a Nashville-built spacecraft, we mean every component was touched by the hands of people who understand what this mission means to you.

The Emotional Philosophy

We are not in the business of selling grief. We are in the business of honoring love.

Every decision we make — from the weight of The Keepsake Box to the wording on the Flight Certificate — is guided by a single question: Does this honor the bond between a pet and the person who loved them?

We don't rush families. There is no deadline to return a Keepsake Box. We don't upsell grief. Every tier is a complete, meaningful memorial. We don't exaggerate. When we say your companion is in orbit, we mean they are physically, verifiably in orbit.

This isn't about spectacle. It's about scale — giving an outsized love an outsized farewell. A pet who was your whole world deserves a goodbye that acknowledges the world they were.

What We Believe

  • Pet grief is real grief, and it deserves real acknowledgment.
  • A memorial should match the magnitude of the love it honors.
  • Transparency builds trust. We show you everything — from intake to orbit.
  • Technology should serve emotion, not replace it.
  • Every companion, regardless of species or size, deserves dignity.

What We Promise

  • Your companion's ashes will physically reach orbit.
  • You will receive real mission data and live tracking.
  • We will never rush you through the process.
  • We will communicate at every milestone.
  • Your memorial will be treated with the care it deserves.

The Hero Pets Program

Some companions didn't just share your life — they served alongside you. They protected. They healed. They saved lives. And some of them didn't come home.

The Hero Pets Program is Flyaway's commitment to honoring military working dogs, law enforcement K-9s, search and rescue animals, certified therapy pets, and service animals who served their communities and their people.

Qualifying Hero Pets receive special recognition on their memorial pages, a dedicated Hero Pets mission badge on their Flight Certificate, and priority placement on upcoming missions. We believe that animals who served deserve a final mission of their own — one last flight, carried with the honor they earned.

Who Qualifies

  • Military working dogs (active or retired)
  • Law enforcement K-9 units
  • Search and rescue animals
  • Certified service animals
  • Certified therapy animals

Hero Pets Benefits

  • Hero Pets mission badge on Flight Certificate
  • Special recognition on memorial page
  • Priority mission placement
  • Dedicated section on the Flyaway website
  • Discounted or sponsored memorials available
