Sarah Brightman to start space flight training

In 2012 in conjunction with Virgin Galactic, The Brightman STEM
Scholarship program (science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics) was launched to help young women in the US pursue STEM
education across their four-year college careers.

Her album, “Dreamchaser” was released on January 22, 2013.

She said “I don’t think of myself as a dreamer. Rather, I am a dream
chaser, I hope that I can encourage others to take inspiration from my
journey both to chase down their own dreams and to help fulfill the
important UNESCO mandate to promote peace and sustainable development
on Earth and from space. I am determined that this journey can reach
out to be a force for good, a catalyst for some of the dreams and aims
of others that resonate with me.” She intends to become the first
professional musician to sing from space.

Spacefarer Sarah Brightman Undergoes Medical Tests

It is not yet known if she will make any amateur radio contacts while
on the ISS.

In 1991 the first UK astronaut Helen Sharman was issued with a special
callsign GB1MIR by the Radiocommunications Division of the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI). She was then able to contact radio
amateurs on Earth during her stay on the MIR space station.
