New Delhi, April 14 -- The New Shepard carrying Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' fiancee, Lauren Sanchez, and other women part of the NS-31 crew has lifted off into space.

Mission controllers gave the final go-ahead for liftoff, confirming that engineers are receiving healthy data from the rocket systems. With all checks complete, the mission is now set to launch in less than 10 minutes.

The Kardashians, including Kris Jenner, and Khole Kardashian are also present at the launch site.

"We're here to support our girlfriend and our friends, and I never thought that we'd be talking to you from a space launch for sure," Jenner told reporters.

Katy Perry is dedicating the trip to her daughter.
