Elysium

The Elysium is a intersteller ark that carries 60,000 people on a 123-year trip to colonize Tanis, an Earth-like planet. The passengers are placed in hypersleep, and a rotating crew wake every two years to maintain the ship. Eight years into the mission, the ship receives a transmission from Earth in multiple languages: "You're all that's left of us. Good luck, God bless, and godspeed."
The ship would crash onto the planet after 923 years have elapsed since the mission launched due to flight members unable to carry out their full duty. Beginning year one on Tanis, with a population of 1,213.
