For the first time in history, the Estonian flag was launched into space onboard the SpaceX CRS-25 Falcon 9/Dragon spacecraft. The flag left Earth on July 15 last year and returned home safely on April 15 2023. The Estonian flag spent 275 days in space and orbited Earth 4400 times and travelled 112, 200,000 nautical miles. Estonian American entrepreneur Steve Jurvetson, a former board member of SpaceX, included the Estonian blue, black and white flag onboard the rocket as the Estonian flag is very dear to him.
