On 29th April 2018 on a very fine Sunday in West Texas in which it only just briefly Thunderstorm rained early that morning at 0945 Hours Eastern Day time… On that Sunday it was the Launch of the Blue Origin’s Test Flight Mission Number Eight..  Excitingly commentary the launch is in which is Ariane Cornell- Business Development and Strategy for Blue Origin is… exciting as the crew of the Blue Origin as they waited for the launch collaboratively from different parts of the country….

During the process counting down towards the Mission Number eighth launch there was numerous understanding belays, or holds has the Team Blue Origin tweaks, modifies, repairs out any issues that arises during the counting down towards the launch ….. As New Shepard launched with a Apogee of 107 Kilometers reaching before the Command module separated… In which it landed secondary after the first stage New Shepard landed without any issues, landing textbook.. with powered up  by  the singular BE-3 Engine in which is different than from the SpaceX nine Merlin Engines.. New Shepard features more like the SpaceX Falcon Nine reusable, in which is like a Jeep version rather than like a Tesla roadster in which is SpaceX…

launched from Blue Origin West Texas launch complex is the New Shepard..

Apart from the Launch is the second time the Mannequin Passenger named Skywalker has flown on a test flight- Skywalker previous rode the December 2017 Mission seven test flight… Among with Skywalker in which workingly conducting astronaut telemetry and science studies, several sets payloads was onboard the New Shepard Command Module in which are payload contracted to NASA-National Aeronautics And Space Admistraton also aswell to the DLR- German Aerospace Center Commercial customers..

NASA’s payload was from the Johnson Space Center- SFEM-2 Suborbital flight Experiment Monitor -2 in which was design to data collect the various payloads in an environment in flight cabin collecting (CO2, pressure, acceleration, acoustics) for the Orion command module

New Shepard does another text book landing as its design like a SUV in mind.. reaching 107 Kilometer apogee then separating descending back..

The Second NASA’s Payload was the SC-1X- Schmitt Space Communications – naming after the Apollo 17 Astronaut Schmitt was design to test the frame work of using easy access of commercial WI-FI in Space for users in which this payloads experiment is commercially funded in collaboration with NASA’S Flight Opportunities Program…  Among with the other payload that was sent up during the eighth mission that’s delicate Daphnia-  in using microgravity effects on gene expressions on water fleas.. in building life support systems for human explorations..  Equipage was to study the motions in microgravity in state far from equilibrium of Granular gases in which not possible to examine on Earth…

Apart from Today’s eight mission launch was a success in which despite that the launch was on hold several times it also provide refinement data for the ninth launch that the next wouldn’t face any holds… or reduce holds

BLUE ORGIN | New Shepard- Flight numbers three… even high than before…

“………….Launch, Land, Repeat… “

Using the same rocket as before, the same hardware previously used, “Amazon’s Blue Origin” New Shepard’s third flight was design to see if they could break it on second April 2016, with a higher attitude this time of one hundred and three Kilometers high…..With an engine restart…  for the landing on for about a kilometer .. in which the prescribing  its main BE-3 engine to throttle up hard fast.. in with the conclusion of a two stage separation with the crew capsule touching down at 1.3 miles per hour.. also with main propulsion stage touching down at 4.8 Miles per Hour..  it should be interesting to see the fourth flight where they reused the same hardware to make it reliable standard..as the company completes itself also Space X as well.. !

AMAZON- BLUE ORGIN | New Shepard first historical landing rocks out Falcon…!

As “Space X’ starting to restart in their reusable stage rockets in lowering the operating cost of sending payloads and crew in lower earth orbit… By having retro grade system so it can land back on a designated landing pad or just in case of emergencies.. Reusable rockets or vechicles are nothing new. They were in development since the concept of replacing the Space Shuttle or STS-Space Transportation System…

With the introduction of the Delta clipper DC-X33 during the early parts of this century.. In which was a single reusable vehicle that launches up then lands under its own retro thrust then lands with own landing gear without any used of a parachute.. In this “Amazon-Blue Origin” have successfully land historically on 23rd November 2015 in West Texas launch Site.. New Shepard first stage at an altitude of 100.5 Kilometres in the air… Then safely land back onwards to a land pad under on its own guidance of thrust of New Shepard’s main engine.. With its main landing gears.. Something now that Space X now has to beat with their Falcon nine reusable this year after multiple unsuccessful tries on landing without incident… as Space tourism heats up between SpaceX and Amazon-Blue Origin.. it leaves Sir Richard Branson-Virgin Galactic in far behind now with the now shift towards to Amazon- Jeff Bezos and Tesla’s Elon Musk.. For a least expensive reliable option for real space tourism.. in Earth’s orbit, and beyond to the moon and further wise..
