In a groundbreaking stride for women’s representation in space, Blue Origin, the aerospace company founded by Jeff Bezos in 2000, is set to launch its New Shepard rocket on mission NS-31 this spring. This flight, the 11th human spaceflight for the program and its 31st overall, will carry an all-female crew of six—a first of its kind since Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight in 1963.The Crew of Six: Trailblazers Redefining Possibility<figure class="image"><img src="https://prd-cdn.jessicahk.com/katyperry_1739078187_3563968605966452383_407964088_03e983d833.jpg" alt="katyperry_1739078187_3563968605966452383_407964088.jpg"><figcaption>Photo from Instagram @katyperry</figcaption></figure>Katy Perry A global pop superstar and the best-selling female artist in Capitol Records’ history, Perry is reaching for the stars.

Her work on projects like LILLY, about fair-pay activist Lilly Ledbetter, reflects her commitment to equity. As a mom, she hopes her flight inspires her son and the next generation of dreamers to aim high.Each crew member brings personal motivations to the flight. Katy Perry connects her childhood imagination to this leap, encouraging women everywhere to dream without limits, while visionary leader Lauren Sanchez sees it as a platform to uplift others. Gayle King’s courage at 70 proves age is no barrier to being bold. Bowe and Nguyen, from underrepresented backgrounds, embody resilience and representation. Flynn’s hope for her son reflects the ripple effect of empowered women on future generations.The Mission: Empowerment at 62 Miles High Launching from West Texas, the New Shepard—a fully autonomous, reusable rocket named for astronaut Alan Shepard—will carry the women past the Kármán line—62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth’s surface, widely recognized as the boundary of space. The 11-minute journey offers a brief period of weightlessness and a view of Earth through expansive windows—a mission to “challenge their perspectives of Earth, empower them to share their stories, and create lasting impact,” according to Blue Origin.With no pilots or assigned roles—just six equal crew members—this flight underscores the ethos of collective strength. Since its debut crewed mission in 2021, which carried Jeff Bezos and his brother Mark, New Shepard has flown 52 people into space, including icons like William Shatner and Emily Calandrelli, the 100th woman to cross the Kármán line.<figure class="image"><img src="https://prd-cdn.jessicahk.com/laurenwsanchez_1737042999_3546896210023820853_46629688114_660390591d.jpg" alt="laurenwsanchez_1737042999_3546896210023820853_46629688114.jpg"><figcaption>Photo from Blue Origin</figcaption></figure>A Legacy of Women in Space This all-female mission builds on a legacy of women in space. NASA has trained 61 female astronauts since its inception, and first all-female spacewalk with astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir in 2019 set a precedent. In November 2024, engineer Emily Calandrelli became the 100th woman to venture into space on Blue Origin’s NS-28 mission. Now, NS-31 is elevating that legacy further with an all-female crew, signaling how far we’ve come—and how far we have yet to go.While Blue Origin has not announced an exact launch date, the mission is slated before Katy Perry’s “Lifetimes Tour” begins on April 23. As the company, now led by former Amazon exec Dave Limp, continues to innovate with reusable rocket technology, NS-31 promises to be a milestone in space exploration—one that celebrates women’s contributions and inspires the next generation to reach for the stars. As Sánchez leads this crew skyward, they’re not just crossing the Kármán line—they’re redefining the sky’s limits for women worldwide.
