Melbourne, May 22 (ANI): A privately owned rocket is set to blast cremated remains of James Doohan, best known as Scotty of Star Trek, into space on Tuesday.
SpaceX intends to launch its Dragon capsule into space again after swapping out a faulty part that grounded its mission on Saturday.
The unmanned capsule, which will carry the remains of actor Doohan, will blast off atop SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral.
The mission aims to send the first commercial spacecraft to International Space Station. A successful launch will be a major landmark for SpaceX, a private California company that hopes to restore US access to the ISS after NASA retired its shuttle fleet last year.
It's other mission was to scatter Scotty's ashes. Doohan had requested to be 'beamed up' before he died in 2005 aged 85, News.com.au reported.(ANI)
