The blue origin must wait a little longer to release the first gravity mission of the moon.
The company, established by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, was planning to release a new Shepherd Sub -Owbitar vehicle this morning (January 28) from Nishi -Texas. However, the two different problems were colluding to prevent the time lift off.
“We are scrubbing today’s release. In addition to the thick clouds that have been tracked all over the morning, we also encountered a problem related to booster avionics.
The free mission, known as the NS-29, posts 30 research payloads for a short trip to the orbital space.
The 29 of these experiments tests the moon -related technology. Therefore, the NS-29 imitates the gravity conditions of the month for 2 minutes by rotating the new Chepard capsule in 11 revolutions per minute.
“Peyload generates at least two minutes of power. This is the first for the new Chepard, which has become partially possible through the support from NASA.” This is the use of IN-SITU resources, dust relaxation, sensor, small spacecraft, and land.

More than half of the payloads on the NS-29 are supported by the NASA Flight Obus program. The agency is eager to collect more data on the moon condition to support the Artemis program, which works to return people to the moon in a few years.
New shepherds are best known as the Space Tourist Vehicle, but 19 out of 19 out of 28 flights are irregular. The reusable rocket capsule combo flew the last person on November 22.
