Watch Blue Origin’s most critical rocket launch right here
The launch is scheduled for 11:00 am EDT on July 18, 2018.
Blue Origin is about to preform a critical rocket test. For the first time Jeff Bezos’ rocket company will send send its New Shepard rocket to its red line at the edge of space and then fire the escape motor on the capsule that will carry passengers.
This is the ninth mission for the New Shepard program and the third time this reusable rocket was used.
About 20 seconds (and 100 feet) after the New Shepard and the crew capsule separates, the motor on the capsule will fire with 70k foot pounds of thrust, sending the capsule 50,000 ft higher than it has gone before. After the motor fires, parachutes will hopefully deploy allowing the capsule to return safely to solid ground.
