"Katy is honored to be a part of Blue Origin's first all-female crew and hopes her journey encourages her daughter and others to reach for the stars, literally and figuratively."

The mission will feature the first all-female crew since the Soviet Union launched cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova into orbit in 1963. The spacecraft will be launched from Blue Origin's West Texas pad. Blue Origin's statement also detailed the thoughts of team lead Lauren Sanchez.

"She is honored to lead a team of explorers on a mission that will challenge their perspectives of Earth, empower them to share their own stories, and create lasting impact that will inspire generations to come," Blue Origin said.

Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket will take the crew above the Karman line (100 kilometres above sea level), which is widely considered the boundary of space. The mission will last about 11 minutes, and the crew will experience four minutes of weightlessness.
