Blue Origin Sets April 14 Launch for Historic All-Female Spaceflight Featuring Katy Perry

The NS-31 mission, Blue Origin's 11th human spaceflight, marks the first all-female crew since 1963 and includes pop star Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, and aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe.

The NS-31 mission will launch from Blue Origin's Launch Site One in West Texas, with the launch window opening at 8:30 a.m. CT on April 14, 2025.
The six-woman crew includes Katy Perry, Gayle King, Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, Kerianne Flynn, and Lauren Sánchez, marking a milestone in gender representation in space travel.
This is Blue Origin's 11th human spaceflight and the first all-female space mission since Valentina Tereshkova's solo flight in 1963.
The mission patch features personalized symbols for each crew member, with fireworks representing Katy Perry and her hit song 'Firework.'
The flight precedes Perry's Lifetimes Tour, which begins in Mexico City on April 23, 2025, adding cultural significance to the mission's timing.
