Pop singer Katy Perry is among six prominent women set to travel to space aboard a Blue Origin rocket.
The mission will use the New Shepard rocket, developed by Jeff Bezos’ company, Blue Origin.
This space tourism flight is reportedly aimed at offering space travel experiences to wealthy individuals.
Katy Perry will be joined by Lauren Sanchez, who is Jeff Bezos’ girlfriend, and CBS anchor Gayle King.
Other crew members include NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn.
The rocket will launch from West Texas and is expected to fly for about 11 minutes.
During the flight, the crew will travel more than 100 kilometers above Earth, briefly entering outer space.
