Tribute to James Doohan
'Star Trek' creator Gene Roddenberry also had his remains shot into space after his death in 1991. They returned to Earth in 2002.
Doohan's cremated remains will be packed into a special tube that is ejected from the rocket and expected to orbit Earth for about 50 to 200 years before plunging into the planet's atmosphere and burning up.
The remains of more than 120 others will be aboard the flight, including those of an unidentified astronaut and Mareta West, the astrogeologist who determined the site for the first spacecraft landing on the moon.
