Blue Origin is currently targeting Tuesday (February 4) for the first time in history.
The company first began a new Shepherd subjugation vehicle NS-29 mission on January 28, but stopped his attempts due to cooperative weather and rocket avionics issues.
But now everything seems to be organized. Blue Origin, operated by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, will fly on a private NS-29 on Tuesday morning.
If everything goes according to the plan, the new shepherd (reusable rocket type Capsule combo) will release Blue Origin’s West Texas on Tuesday 11:00 am (1600 GMT, local Texas time at 10:00 am). It is lifted from the site. The company streams the action 15 minutes before the lift off.
NS-29 is a research flight. There are 30 scientific payloads, of which 29 test monthly technology. At the beginning of the blue origin, payload experiences a two -minute simulated monthly gravity. This is guided by rotating a new shepherd capsule at 11 turns per minute.
“In this flight, you can test in the six widespread lunar technical fields: use on -site resources, dust relaxation, advanced resident system, sensor and instrumentation, small spacecraft ship technology, entry, descending, landing.” 。

NASA accounts for most of the NS-29 and supports more than half of 30 payloads via the Flight Opportunities program. Data collected by short orbital flight supports the altemis program, an agency that has been working to return astronauts to the month since the Apollo era.
As the name suggests, the NS-29 is the 29th new Sephab flight. Nine of the 28 missions so far were Janto, a space tourist.
