The ashes of one of the original stars of Star Trek will be sent into space

The ashes of nichelle Nichols will be sent into deep space on a rocket that memorializes her and several other Star Trek veterans. Nichols’ son, Kyle Johnson, donated her ashes after she died in July at age 89.

There still is n’t a set date for the send-off, and it will likely depend on the United launch alliance’s ongoing development of the Vulcan rocket.

James Doohan, who played the enterprise’s engineer, Scotty, and the visual effects artist Douglas Trumbull will also be on board. Nichols will be joined by the remains of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and his wife, Majel Barrett, who starred as the series’ nurse Christine chapel.

Celestis will store the capsules in the rocket’s upper stage. The capsules will be sent between 150 million and 300 million kilometers into space and orbit the sun.
