The mission will last about 11 minutes and take the crew 62 miles above Earth past the Kármán line.

The rocket is fully autonomous, meaning there will be no pilots on board—just the crew enjoying weightlessness.

Katy Perry said she’s dreamed of going to space for 20 years and wants to make the experience “glamorous.”

She also hopes to inspire young girls to explore STEM and space careers, a field where women are still underrepresented.

Only 11% of all space travelers have been women, something this mission aims to challenge and change.
