Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and late wife Majel are about to go on their final mission.

Star Trek maker and wife's ashes will go to space

Space bound: Gene Roddenberry with wife Majel




The Roddenberrys' ashes will be shot into space in about a year and a half, in accordance with their wishes, memorial spaceflight company Celestis Inc said on Monday.



Majel, who had roles in nearly every Star Trek TV show and movie since the original, died on December 18 last year. She had been married to Gene for 22 years when he died in 1991.

Celestis had sent a portion of Gene's ashes into space in 1997.

Fans can send tributes for the Roddenberrys at Celestis.com. The messages will be put into a digital file and sent into space along with the ashes.
