How will Katy Perry prepare for the April 23 kickoff of her Lifetimes Tour? By going to space.

As previously reported, Katy is part of an all-female crew for the latest Blue Origin flight, mission NS-31, but now we know when she'll be blasting off: April 14. The launch window starts at 8:30 a.m. CDT on that day.

As previously reported, joining Katy on the mission will be CBS' Gayle King, journalist and author Lauren Sánchez, filmmaker Kerianne Flynn, activist Amanda Nguyễn and aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe.

The mission patch features symbols representing each woman: Katy is represented by fireworks, which symbolize her "global influence across music, pop culture and philanthropy."

Katy’s Lifetimes Tour, in support of her album 143, starts in Mexico before arriving in North America May 7. She’ll then head to Australia before returning to North America July 12.
