Missions FAQ

What are the objects I can send?

A POSTCARD: you’ll have to choose between a selection of postcards and personalize the one chosen.

A PHOTO: you’ll have to upload your photo and personalize it.

A PERSONAL OBJECT: you’ll have to upload a photo of your personal object and make sure it fits our specifications (size, mass, value…). You’ll then have to send your personal object at the company’s address.

Where can I send the objects?

TO SPACE: your object will be launched from planet Earth, travel through space (at an average altitude of 160 kilometers and a speed of roughly 4.000 kilometers per hour) for a few minutes before landing back on Earth.

TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS): your object will be launched from Cape Canaveral (Florida, USA) with SpaceX’s Falcon 9, travel through space inside the Dragon spacecraft (at an average altitude of 400 kilometers and a speed of roughly 28.000 kilometers per hour), dock with the ISS for a few weeks before landing back on Earth.

What is the difference between Toucan Space and high-altitude balloons?

Unlike high-altitude balloons, Toucan Space will send your stuff to outer space, above the Kármán line. Whereas high-altitude balloons reach an altitude of roughly 30 kilometers, we send your stuff well above 100 kilometers.
