On 5^th or 6^th October 2016 on a very clear dry blue weather skies “Blue Origin” has flight tested it escape module, in escaping that anomaly.. On West Texas Launch test site, as Arian Cornell and Phil Hahn provides the narratives on this morning on fifth flight on the New Shepard on the reusable booster, also this is the sixth flight on the Reusable New Shepherd command module…

The way how the New Shepard Command Module escape works when detected an Anomaly or sorts, in this test flight they expected to lose the booster in which the separation of the Command module has separated successfully in which the New Shepard Command module landed with braking chute then the primary chute to bake the fall also the retro rockets system kick in to cushion the impact safety  also retrospect , apparent the booster has landed back on surface with it landing gears bracing for landing..

Like Mercury, Apollo, and Soyuz, New Shepard has an escape system that can quickly propel the crew capsule to safety if a problem is detected with the booster. Our escape system, however, pushes rather than pulls and is mounted underneath the capsule rather than on a tower. The escape motor vectors thrust to steer the capsule to the side, out of the booster’s path. The capsule then coasts, stabilized by reaction control thrusters, until it starts descending. Its three drogue parachutes deploy near the top of its flight path, followed shortly thereafter by main parachutes. On a nominal mission, the escape motor is not expended and can be flown again and again.

As safety of the crew also the payload is critical to any mission that regards in launching into space during the transition from launch pad into orbit… from that transition returning back to earth as well…… The “ Blue Origin-New Shepard” has for the escape system it’s very close similar to the previous configurations like of Mercury, Apollo, Soyuz and Gemini all have an escape tower carrier module to jettison among with the command module immediately away when there’s an anomaly detected that threatens the crew.. in with its tradition design..  As innovative as New Shepard that system is built constructed housed within centrally the below of mounted underneath…. As the Reusable Command Module detects an anomaly the explosive clamps is release that’s holding the Command module together from the main stage then it’s rockets out on path control by reaction control thrusters to a safety descending then deploying multiple of parachutes to slow down the level of acceleration of descending location with the reusable escape rocket engine ….
