Partners use Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket to test out technologies bound for the moon—without actually sending them there ...

Jeff Bezos’ rocket company gave NASA a brief taste of the moon’s gravity Tuesday ... first attempt at mimicking lunar gravity, which is one-sixth that of Earth. This image provided by Blue ...

In a first, the Jeff Bezos-led spaceflight company simulated lunar gravity on a suborbital rocket to test various science ...

Scientists are unraveling the mysteries of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, and its dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Despite its ...

Launch of Blue Origin's New Shepard suborbital rocket system on Feb. 4, 2025. During the flight test, the capsule at the top ...

Among the key experiments are Electrostatic Dust Lofting, which will study how lunar dust gets electrically charged when ...

Blue Origin said the spacecraft achieved moon gravity by using a new Reaction Control System, which will take charge of making the revolutions. The spin simulates one-sixth of the Earth's gravity.

One major departure from Blue Origin's past New Shepard flights is the spin maneuver to create the effect of one-sixth Earth's gravity (simulating the gravity of the moon) during the NS-29 mission.

New Shepard is a launch vehicle designed to be fully reusable, with a capsule that returns to Earth via three parachutes ... to attempt to simulate the moon's gravity. To pull off the feat ...
