Katy Perry will go into space in April.

The Teenage Dream singer revealed in February that she would be part of an all-female crew – which also includes presenters Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez – to travel on the next launch of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket as part of a mission for the New Shepard program’s 11th human flight.

Blue Origin on Thursday announced the flight would launch on the morning of April 14 in the west Texas high desert.

The company also unveiled the official patch for the flight, which features the surnames of each crew member on the boarder and symbols which are meaningful to each of the women.

In a reference to her 2010 hit single Firework, Perry is represented with fireworks, which also depict her “global influence across music, pop culture, and philanthropy”.

A shooting star microphone symbolises King’s “commitment to sharing important stories with the world”, while Sanchez – who is engaged to Blue Origin founder Jeff – is represented by Flynn the Fly, the main character from her children’s book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, a story about “overcoming adversity (and) inspiring kids with learning differences to pursue their dreams”.

Former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe’s “ambition for setting big goals, passion for STEM, and commitment to inspiring future generations” is depicted by a target star, and research scientist Amanda Nguyen is represented by the scales of justice in recognition of her “efforts to advocate for civil rights, break barriers, and empower everyday people to create change”.

Movie producer Kerianne Flynn’s “passion for filmmaking, storytelling, and crafting beautiful narratives” is symbolised by a film reel.

Perry is “honoured” to be involved and “hopes hopes her journey encourages her daughter and others to reach for the stars, literally and figuratively”, New Shepard previously said.
