🇺🇸 BLUE ORIGIN'S NEW SHEPARD COMPLETES NS-29 MISSION, TESTS MOON GRAVITY TECH Blue Origin successfully launched its New Shepard NS-29 mission from West Texas, carrying 30 payloads to test lunar technologies. The capsule simulated lunar gravity for two minutes, helping NASA and private companies refine moon exploration tech for Artemis missions. Experiments included studying moon dust behavior, fluid dynamics in space, and fire safety in lunar habitats. This marks New Shepard’s 29th flight, bringing its total payload count to over 175. The mission had been delayed due to avionics issues and weather but launched successfully Tuesday morning. Source: SatNews
