Поле перерыва в 15 месяцев и переноса, полет состоялся
Blue Origin successfully completed its 24th New Shepard flight and 13th payload mission today from Launch Site One in West Texas.
The flight carried 33 payloads from NASA, academia, research institutions, and commercial companies, bringing the number of payloads flown on New Shepard to more than 150. Club for the Future, Blue Origin’s nonprofit, flew 38,000 postcards as part of its Postcards to Space program. Each postcard will be returned to its creator stamped “Flown to Space.” The Club recently added a digital method to create and send postcards, which can be found here.
