Main Engine Cut OffBlue Origin Set to Pick Up Flight Rate
Wagner told the San Diego audience that Blue Origin’s payload manifest has been planned out for the next year, and would add biology experiments to the mix. The team is also looking at ways to modify the spacecraft so that experiments can be exposed to the space environment, rather than staying inside the pressurized New Shepard capsule throughout the flight, she said.
I’ll be interested in how they handle exposed experiments, specifically to see if they will be done in a way applicable to unpressurized cargo space for any future cargo contracts they may get with their orbital-class vehicle, like Dragon’s trunk.
