German space capsule lost carrying ashes of 166 people

Bavarian startup The Exploration Company (TEC) is investigating the loss of its “Nyx Mission Possible” space capsule, which carried the ashes of 166 people and was supposed to return them to Earth after orbiting twice.

The capsule re-entered the atmosphere but lost communication just before parachute deployment, and recovery is unlikely.

TEC apologized to clients and formed an independent investigation team.

The capsule also carried cannabis seeds for a Mars growth study, the DW has reported.

The mission marks a historic but tragic first attempt at returning memorial spaceflight ashes.
