The flight will be fully automated and take approximately 11 minutes, crossing the Karman line into low Earth orbit. Sanchez, who is credited for assembling this mission, emphasized the mission's aims to inspire future generations by challenging global perspectives and fostering empowerment among women explorers. This event furthers a trend of celebrity involvement in space tourism, following launches featuring other high-profile individuals.
