Cremated remains of 100 deceased were launched into space on a SpaceX rocket on December 3, CNN reported. 
It was launched in a memorial satellite by the company Elysium Space, onboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
The ashes of the 100 cremated ones were packed into a 4-inch square satellite called a cubesat, Elysium Space Founder and CEO Thomas Civeit told CNN.
