They will be aboard the New Shepard, the centerpiece rocket of Blue Origin\u2019s space tourism business, in a launch this spring.<\/p>\n

The singer and songwriter Katy Perry and the broadcast journalist and show host Gayle King will be among the all-female crew on the next mission of New Shepard<\/a>, the space tourism rocket that is operated by Jeff Bezos\u2019 private company, Blue Origin.<\/p>\n

Blue Origin announced the lineup<\/a> on Thursday, ahead of a planned spaceflight this spring, though no specific date has been announced for the launch. It will also include Aisha Bowe, a former NASA engineer; Amanda Nguyen, a research scientist; Kerianne Flynn, a film producer; and Lauren S\u00e1nchez, who is Mr. Bezos\u2019 fianc\u00e9e and a helicopter pilot.<\/p>\n

The company has garnered attention for its flights by including celebrities or highlighting new milestones in spaceflight.<\/p>\n

The spring launch will be the 11th flight carrying passengers and the 31st mission overall for New Shepard. The suborbital rocket is named after Alan Shepard<\/a>, the first American to reach space in 1961 and one of the astronauts who walked on the moon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Flights on the fully reusable vehicle last just over 10 minutes and take participants to an altitude higher than 62 miles. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station, by contrast, orbit about 250 miles above the Earth.<\/p>\n

Mr. Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the wealthiest men on the planet, was among the first passengers<\/a> on New Shepard in 2021, the year of Blue Origin\u2019s first crewed flight.<\/p>\n
