The ashes of Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols will be flown into deep space, as part of an 'eternal memorial'.
Her remains will join other cast members and space enthusiasts on a rocket-ship that will enter solar orbit.
The 89-year-old who died last month, played Lieutenant Nyota Uhura in the 1960s and is credited for helping to shatter racial stereotypes at the height of the Civil Rights movement.
