Passengers will travel beyond the Karman line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. This mission is especially significant as it will be the first all-female space crew since Valentina Tereshkova’s solo flight for the Soviet Union in 1963.
Lauren Sanchez has been instrumental in organizing this mission, with the goal of challenging perceptions, empowering storytelling, and leaving a lasting legacy that will inspire future generations.
The mission is set to occur this spring, although the exact launch date has yet to be announced. Katy Perry’s involvement in this event comes just before her Lifetimes Tour, which kicks off on April 23 and runs through November 11.
