This pendant was launched to the edge of space on March 31, 2026, onboard an Earth to Sky Calculus cosmic ray research balloon. At the same time, NASA's Artemis II rocket sat on the launch pad in Florida, poised for its own launch a day later. The Moon floating behind our pendant inspired its name: The Artemis Pendant.
 
Wrapped in a sterling silver infinity frame, this authentic Swarovski citrine crystal pendant spent 3 hours in the stratosphere, flying 113,209 feet above the White Mountains of central California. After the balloon exploded (as planned), the payload parachuted back to Earth, landing in Saline Valley on the verge of Death Valley National Park. The pendant had a wild ride, and the students got great data for their atmospheric radiation monitoring program.
