BLUE ORGIN – NEW SHEPARD | Escape crew command module flight testing – escaping that Anomaly- Job well done.. !

On 5th or 6th 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 ….

Before Facebook live, Periscope, NASA has always been the leading edge in broadcasting live streaming educationally content.. Started out streaming on 30 September 2016, is “NASA’s International Space Station –ISS” view, live feed as the station orbits around the Planet Earth every ninety minutes, on “official Space and universe channel “ in where they stream this feed from the International Space Station’s HDEV –High Definition Earth Viewing camera’s….  but Orthough it started stream on a different platform on UStream on 30th April 2014 in which is mounted on the External payload Facility of European Space Agency-ESA’s Columbus module… The live streaming component unit is enclosed pressurized and temperature controlled housing, housing different various camera optical components….As this stream continues it’ll broadcast live and prerecorded footage from NASA-ISS HDEV Camera.

As the build up to the “NASA’s Space Launch Systems” in preparations in returning back to the moon Luna, then towards the rusty orange Planet Mars, with ongoing efforts in establishing an outpost on research, exploration, commercial, also tourism on those two… as the First Test flight of the Constellation Program – SLS is underway for the for the launch calendar year 2018, no later than November launch window… on a re-built-recondition Launch complex –LC 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida that was once launched by the STS- Space Transportation Systems, The Space Shuttle program- the Work Truck of NASA.. With the Orion command module on-board to test the full stack of its systems before a manned test flight to see if any other modifications, tweaking, and turning are required to rebuild another variant of the original SLS rocket..

In this see that preparations of a forty meter long SLS liquid hydrogen fuel tank constructed with a new tooling systems at Vehicle Assembly Center at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans…. In where this major component is of the first stage in which it takes up least two thirds of sixty five meter first stage among its other component in which stores the Liquid Oxygen in where the two it feeds the powerful four RS-25 engines that was once used on the Tri-cluster Space Shuttle Main Engines, now heavily modified for the SLS program, also with a pair five segmentation SRB’s Solid Rocket Boosters on each sides.. Using the same design heritage from the STS-Space Shuttle program..

Apart from the forty meter Liquid Hydrogen tank is the testing for flight qualification to see whether to see if it sustains to any form of extreme stresses that may be impose on it to see if any other modifications learning experiences  that are learn from that testing at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama…
