Replay - New Shepard Mission NS-14 Webcast

Blue Origin successfully completed its 14th mission to space and back for the New Shepard program on Thursday, January 14, 2021.
Mission NS-14 featured a crew capsule outfitted with astronaut experience upgrades for upcoming flights with astronauts onboard.
This flight continued to prove the robustness and stability of the New Shepard system and the BE-3PM liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engine. Also onboard today were more than 50,000 postcards from Blue Origin’s nonprofit Club for the Future.
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 on BlueOrigin.com: bit.ly/35EJ76D

These upgrades consist of acoustics, temperature regulation, crew display panels, speakers with a microphone and push-to-talk buttons at each seat. The mission will also test several astronaut communication and safety alert systems. The capsule will be fitted with 6 seats with one seat being occupied by Mannequin Skywalker. This mission will be the qualification flight for the never flown New Shepard 4 booster and capsule to allow crewed launches. NOTE 2: As part of Blue Origin’s nonprofit club for the Future, 50,000 postcards created from students around the world will be inside the capsule for the flight. NOTE 3: The booster and the capsule may be rescued for the first crewed New Shepard flight in 2022! Have a great day! Jeff who?

​@@katarina2069 Would an ad-blocker also skip in-video ads? No, just the ads from KZbin. Regarding ad-blockers on different platforms, you can watch KZbin ad-free on smartphones and tablets as well, at least on Android. Search for "Play Lite", that's an app that interfaces with the KZbin API to present a user interface similar to the original KZbin app, but when you lauch a video using Play Lite, it'll run free of KZbin ads, although the player used is actually the real KZbin app player. This works because Android apps are split into different "activities" and the main activity isn't used, Play Lite directly calls for the playback activity of the original app and instructs it to play the video URL it passed through. This way, the instructions to insert ads at certain points are not passed to the playback activity. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.panagola.app.playlite On the PC, I prefer the KODI (ex XBMC) media player and use the KODI Android remote control to queue KZbin videos for ad-free playback within KODI on the PC. Or I'm using Chrome with an ad-blocker, depending on which PC I intend to watch videos at that moment. So you see, I know my way around ads quite well. 😜

But they are still raising money to fund Starship and Starlink. Just developing Falcon reusability cost $1 billion and I don't know how close reusability is to paying for its own development -- it definitely will eventually. Starlink could end up being _extremely_ profitable in the not too-distant future. I assume Blue Origin has been paid something by ULA for BE-4 engine delivery, but they obviously have nowhere near SpaceX's revenue. SpaceX is also a _much_ larger company than Blue Origin. ULA is profitable.

[@patrickchase5614]

New Shepherd's landing burn seems a lot less efficient than Falcon 9's. In particular it seems to bring itself to a near stop well above the landing pad, then let down slowly, which means that it's spending fuel fighting gravity in a near-hover. In contrast F9 waits until the very last possible second to fire its engine[s], such that it's decelerating right up until the instant of touchdown. This maximizes the amount of fuel/thrust that goes towards deceleration, and avoids the overhead of hovering. F9's landings are also a lot more accurate. If they were as far off-target as NS was here they'd miss the barge.

[@quinnreierson]

The falcon actually can’t hover, one engine at minimum throttle is too powerful to hover. And I agree, wasting that fuel on hovering is useless. They didn’t even use it to center the rocket on the pad

[@patrickchase5614]

@@quinnreierson Yup, Merlin 1D only throttles down to about 110 klbf IIRC, and an empty F9 first stage is much lighter than that. I'm actually impressed that BE3 can throttle down as deeply as it does (though the nozzle must be inefficient at full thrust to avoid flow separation when throttled), but as you acknowledge it's not an efficient way to land.

No retro thrusters on the capsule and booster almost as far of center as possible while still landing on the pad. Looks like they have quite some way to go, but still impressive to get both to work.

[@Mr.Laidukas]

1:01:50 did capsule slow down thruster really fired? That touch down looked like a crash despite capsule seems intact. But my first impression was that capsule landing failed and your spine would be throttled in to your bottom :D

i didn't see any retro thrusters firing on the capsule. Was going 17MPH when it hit the ground.

[@jendabekCZ]

Congrats! Even though the landing wasn't especially convincing - too long (doesn't it consume too much fuel?) and a lot off the landing spot center, but I guess this will get improved.

Oh because after 13 launches and 6 years (yes, 6 years) they haven't had enough time already to make this vehicule operational....come on!

@@isaachenrikson3197 True, actually what happened to SN8. The maneuver was perfect but due to a header tank pressure issue fuel couldn't get to the engines fast enough, and that second scenario happened.

[@amax1229]

Winds were fairly high today. It was fighting the wind to get over the pad. It landed on the pad though, so that is good. Probably need to adjust the algorithm to better handle the wind drift while on descent ... or just not fly when wind is above a certain threshold. Although an accident with the booster landing would be expensive, it would not endanger the passengers, who are in the separate capsule.

[@DexterDBlack]

That was very exciting seeing both the rocket and capsule return. I didn't see the capsule booster rockets come on. 17 mph landing?
