Description
Blue Origin is now targeting Tuesday (Feb. 4) for its first-ever moon-gravity mission.
The company first tried to launch the NS-29 mission of its New Shepard suborbital vehicle on Jan. 28, but called off that try due to uncooperative weather and an issue with the rocket's avionics.
NS-29 is a research flight; it will carry 30 science payloads, 29 of which will test moon-related tech. In a first for Blue Origin, the payloads will experience two minutes of simulated lunar gravity, which the New Shepard capsule will induce by spinning at a rate of 11 revolutions per minute.
