"We are investigating that anomaly now, the cause of it," Blue Origin's Gary Lai, chief architect for New Shepard, said on Tuesday at the Next-Generation Suborbital Researchers Conference in Colorado, Foust wrote.
"We will get to the bottom of it," Lai added."I can't talk about specific timelines or plans for when we will resolve that situation, other than to say that we fully intend to be back in business as soon as we are ready."The Sept. 12 mission — called NS-23 because it was the 23rd flight overall for New Shepard — aimed to carry 36 payloads on a brief trip to suborbital space and back.
But something unexpected happened about 65 seconds after liftoff, which occurred from Blue Origin's West Texas site. New Shepard's booster hit the ground hard and was presumably destroyed, but the capsule activated its emergency escape system and returned safely to"I can tell you with certainty that the acceleration environment that we experienced was exactly what we predicted.
It was the second in-flight anomaly for New Shepard, after one that occurred on the vehicle's debut launch in 2015. On that occasion, the booster crash-landed and was destroyed, but the capsule managed to reach suborbital space as planned.
