Late actress Nichelle Nichols, who passed away in July, will return to space with several of her “Star Trek” crew members as part of a mission to set their remains into orbit.
Nichols is best known for portraying Lieutenant Nyota Uhura in “Star Trek” and its film sequels. Her ashes will be added to the payload of a Vulcan rocket launching for the moon and beyond. The expedition is part of United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur mission to deliver a robotic lunar lander, which will explore for NASA’s future Artemis flights to the moon.
