Replay - New Shepard Mission NS-13 Webcast

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. Learn more about this mission and the payloads flown on New Shepard on BlueOrigin.com: bit.ly/367AcM3.

The payloads will gather information while in space to determine a spacecrafts speed and location as it approaches the Moon, enabling a vehicle to land autonomously on the lunar surface within 100 meters of a designated point. These technologies can also help with future Moon missions like Artemis. NOTE 2: This is the first flight of New Shepard which will have the 12 payloads attached to the booster instead of inside the capsule. Have a great day!

SpaceX has been an aerospace company for 18 years. Blue Origin is 8 years younger than SpaceX, but definitely not 8 years behind. I'm not trying to diss SpaceX here, just trying to point out that Blue isn't as slow as some people say it is.

[@Freakingbean]

@@anonymousperson2110 one step at a time.

[@KsNewSpace]

​@@anonymousperson2110 It's also not a race. It doesn't really matter how long it takes. Amazon will use their own rockets for their own payloads no matter how much other rockets cost. Blue Origin is also going one step further than SpaceX with Falcon 9. New Glenn will be able to compete with even Starship on certain payloads especially to the moon.

[@sonpopco-op9682]

Blue Origin is taking their time since as I understand it from Jeff Bezo's presentation last year, its about infrastructure. He is going to provide Landing capability on the moon.. you build the rover, he gets it there. I can see the tourism thing coming eventually, but without a destination to visit (which the US government will initiate) there is as of yet no race.

[@user-lv7ph7hs7l]

@@anonymousperson2110 BO is two years older and yes they spent time as a think tank contemplating all sorts of sci fi stuff before realizing rockets are the way to go but they are slow AF.

[@kevinmurray8302]

I'm starting to feel like this is perhaps on purpose. News surrounding Blue Origin's progress is much lower key than SpaceX, to the point where I wonder if this is a strategy they use to hide their development. Maybe that's why they give no technical details, they don't want to give away key innovations that they've made and prefer to keep their rapid progress under wraps.

What's missing is the firing of a second stage at MECO. That would push the capsule into orbit. That would be a good space ride, into orbit for a few hours then do a de-orbit, then land back in Texas. Maybe they can add a second stage for the capsule in the future.

[@odysseusrex5908]

This capsule is *not* designed for orbital flight. It could not survive reentry. On top of that, with the extra weight of a second stage, the first stage could never reach anywhere near the altitude, or speed, needed to allow it to achieve orbit. There is a huge difference between an orbital and a suborbital system. This one does exactly what it was designed to do.

[@odysseusrex5908]

@Friday Goood But are they designing a capsule for New Glenn?

Alot of people here are blind spacex fanboys and i HATE it.

[@TheGg6422]

if this spacecraft can land this controlled at such a slow speed why even do a separation of the upper craft just keep it attached an land them together.

[@sparrowlt]

im guessing its safer as the cockpit can parachute down and dont risk any of the risks asociated to a propulsed landing.. it also takes off mass from the booster.. Maybe its also to do things easier for then.. they dont need to do a "suicide burn" like SpaceX does... that means that a single Merlin engine from a F9 at mininum thrust puts more thrust than the entire booster weights when landing.. wich means they must very carefully time their final landing burn so the booster speed is 0 at 0 altitude..they cant switch it off and on again easily fast so if they burn too late it slams and if too soon it would hover and then climb again and then would crash when the fuel runs out or switch off the engine.. New Sheppard doesnt need to do that since the engine at minimun does less thrust than the booster weight at landing so they can have the luxury of a hover.. maybe with the cockpit attached that would not be posible and complicate their landing much more.. (BTW i think Elon Musk said the next Statship superheavy booster with 27 engines will be able to hover.. i dont know if thats planned for the New Glenn future BlueOrigin rocket)

[@thecroft6070]

Obviously because separation (and capsule landing) has to be practiced / demonstrated too

[@leeswecho]

The booster relies on the drag ring to slow down prior to reigniting engines. With the capsule still attached that won't work. But that doesn't really answer the question of why couldn't they have it designed it to work that way to begin with. The answer is probably: you want to minimize the time humans spend in the proximity of rocket engines, as much as possible.

[@unhommequicourt]

i think it s easier in terms of acceleration, i guess the reentry is quite a ride for the booster, while the capsule is slowed done by it s shape with drag, little by little

[@sparrowlt]

@@unhommequicourt im pretty sure the propulsed landing is smoother than the final touchdown on parachute wich requires special dampening (airbags for the StarLiner, rockets for the Soyuz and New Shepard)

@@EmperorAst NASA never stopped using imperial. I've seen post-2015 technical documents freely using tons, feet, and Fahrenheit, as well as metric. Interconvertability ceased to be a problem with the introduction of electronic conversion, from calculators to phone apps to computers.
