Jan 24, 2025 · Blue Origin successfully completed its 29th New Shepard flight and 14th payload mission. The payloads experienced roughly two minutes of lunar gravity forces.

3 days ago · Jeff Bezos' spaceflight company Blue Origin simulated lunar gravity conditions today (Feb. 4) during the 29th launch of its New Shepard suborbital vehicle.

2 days ago · Blue Origin launched the 29 lunar technology experiments to the edge of space from West Texas. The company later confirmed that roughly two minutes of artificial lunar gravity were achieved by spinning the capsule 11 times a minute. It was Blue Origin’s first attempt at mimicking lunar gravity, which is one-sixth that of Earth.

15 hours ago · Blue Origin stated during the live broadcast that the capsule was engineered to land safely with fewer than three parachutes. Lunar Gravity Simulated for Research Payloads According to reports, the NS-29 mission introduced a lunar gravity simulation for the first time using the New Shepard vehicle.

2 days ago · Blue Origin's famed New Shepard spacecraft simulated the moon's low gravity on board its capsule during a brief flight Tuesday over West Texas.

3 days ago · Launch of Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital rocket system on Feb. 4, 2025. During the flight test, the capsule at the top detached from the booster and spun at approximately 11 rpm to simulate lunar gravity for the NASA-supported payloads inside.
