Blue Origin, the private Spaceflight company founded by billionaires Jeff Bezos, will try to start an unwritten rocket on a scientific mission on Tuesday (August 26), and you can see it online.
The reusable new Shepard Rocket of the company will start a number of experiments in the suborbital space on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. EDT (1230 GMT) by Blue Origins Start Site One in West Texas. The planned start takes place three days after a first attempt on Saturday (August 23), which was thwarted by a technical problem. “The team met with a problem in connection with the Booster’s Avionics,” announced Blue Origin officials at this time on social media.
The Blue Origin Start called NS-35 is transferred to the company’s 200th payload via the Kármán line via this unavoidable suborbital flight, which includes experiments and research work, which was designed by students, teachers and university teams. In the completion, the NS-35 flight from Blue Origins Start Site One in West Texas is withdrawn.
A live webcast of the entire 10-minute space in space should begin 15 minutes before the start. You can see it live on blueorigin.com. Space.com will simulate the stream when blue origin makes it available.
“RSS HG Wells”, Blue Origin’s first new Shepard capsule, which is only devoted to wearing payloads (and not humans), will fly the NS-35 mission. Both the cabin and your booster are to be restored, and the latter lands a driving landing on a concrete pad near his starting point and the former, which return to earth under parachutes.
Among the NS 35 loads are two dozen experiments that were selected as part of NASA and Future Engineers’ Techrise Student Challenge, including studies on the cultivation of plants in microgravity, the physics of liquids and medical research.
Other studies on NS-35 were designed by educators as part of the program for teachers in the space program. Your payloads collect data on sound levels that are generated during the flight, radiation levels and the environmental conditions on board the capsule.
Further experiments on board are for the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Oklahoma State University, the University of Florida, the University of Central Florida, Teledyne and Space Lab Technologies.
CARTHAGE COLLEGE in Wisconsin will test new methods for measuring fuel levels in space, while a Teledyne protection load, which was developed with the Glenn Research Center of NASA in Cleveland, will test the A fuel cell system for space vehicles before it is possible in moon and Mars missions.

A coupling of 432 sensors captures the effects of a new type of chemical coating, and a modified flex fluorescent image system, which was previously tested on board the international space station, will take its first sub orbital trip to NS-35.
As with all new Shepard flights from Blue Origin, visited or unpigured, the company also bears postcards on behalf of its non-profit organization “Club for the Future”. The cards are stamped as a place after the flight and then returned to the students and others who have decorated their fronts.
NS-35 will be Blue Origins 5. Flight of the HG Wells Capsule and the 21st New Shepard Mission.
