Watch Live! Blue Origin to launch 'Space Gal' Emily Calandrelli, 5 others
Description
Blue Origin will launch its ninth space tourism flight this morning (Nov. 22).
The mission — known as NS-28, because it will be the 28th launch overall of Blue Origin's New Shepard vehicle — is scheduled to lift off from the company's West Texas spaceport during a window that opens at 10:30 a.m. EST (1530 GMT; 9:30 a.m. local time in Texas).
The six-person NS-28 crew includes Emily Calandrelli, who's known as "The Space Gal." Joining Calandrelli on New Shepard are repeat Blue Origin customers Marc and Sharon Hagle, a married couple who also flew on the NS-20 in March 2022, James (J.D.) Russell, Henry (Hank) Wolfond, and Austin Litteral, who won his seat in a corporate-sponsored giveaway.
