Blue Origin's NS-23 Exploding Mishap 🚀💥🪂

1 year ago

Blue Origin recently experienced an anomaly during its NS-23 uncrewed sub-orbital spaceflight mission of the New Shepard rocket, which launched on September 12, 2022. The flight was carrying the capsule RSS H.G. Wells and the propulsion module Tail 3, and involved thirty-six payloads, including eighteen funded by NASA's Flight Opportunities program.

During the flight, the booster failed during max q, triggering the Crew Capsule escape system. This system functioned as designed and brought the capsule and its payloads to a safe landing at Launch Site One with no damage. The Propulsion Module, on the other hand, commanded a shutdown of the BE-3PM engine and followed an unpowered trajectory to impact within the defined flight safety analysis prediction, resulting in no danger to human life or property.
