A Blue Origin spacecraft will attempt to mimic lunar gravity in a daring maneuver during a planned Tuesday morning launch from West Texas.
The New Shepard vehicle was developed by billionaire Jeff Bezos' space technology company to fly cargo and humans on short trips to the edge of space. Now, on its 29th overall flight, the spacecraft's capsule will attempt something it has never done before: rotating mid-flight to induce a few minutes of moon-like weightlessness to test the cargo it will have aboard.
The flight test comes as Blue Origin continues to become a major player in the commercial space industry – competing with the likes of billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX for NASA's business, as well as the business of other private companies.
Here's everything to know about the upcoming New Shepard mission, dubbed NS-29, including how to watch it.
The launch window for the New Shepard opens at 8 a.m. CST from Launch Site One, more than 140 miles east of El Paso in Culberson County, according to Blue Origin .
The company first tried to launch the NS-29 mission on Jan. 28, but called off that try due to poor weather and technical issues.
Blue Origin will provide a livestream of the takeoff, beginning 15 minutes prior to the launch window opening, on its website .
New Shepard is a launch vehicle designed to be fully reusable, with a capsule that returns to Earth via three parachutes.
