Watch as a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket launches to suborbital space carrying NASA technology payloads. Liftoff is targeted at 11 a.m. EDT. The rocket booster will descend back to Earth and touch down in a test of sensor systems that could allow spacecraft to navigate and make precise, soft landings on the Moon and other worlds.

24 сентября 2020 года мимо Земли пролетит астероид 2020 SW, диаметром 5–10 метров, обнаруженный всего шесть дней назад. Для Земли опасности астероид не представляет, даже в случае гипотетического столкновения с нашей планетой он разрушился и сгорел бы в атмосфере, сообщается на сайте Лаборатории реактивного движения NASA.

Blue Origin successfully completed the 13th New Shepard mission on October 13, 2020. New Shepard flew 12 commercial payloads to space on this mission, including the Deorbit, Descent, and Landing Sensor Demonstration with NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate under a Tipping Point partnership. This was the first payload to fly mounted on the exterior of a New Shepard booster rather than inside the capsule, opening the door to a wide range of future high-altitude sensing, sampling, and exposure payloads.

Also on board were tens of thousands of postcards from students around the world from Blue Origin’s nonprofit, Club for the Future, some of which will include a special NASA Artemis stamp.  

With this successful mission, New Shepard has flown more than 100 payloads to space across 10 sequential flights. All mission crew supporting this launch exercised strict social distancing and safety measures to mitigate COVID-19 risks to personnel, customers, and surrounding communities.

NASA has partnered with Blue Origin and will put their new technology on the booster stage in order to test it in hopes that it will be suitable enough to be used a quarter of a million miles away on the Moon. This will be another short, suborbital flight out of Blue Origin’s private facility on Corn Ranch located in West Texas, United States of America.
