Again, the new Sheepard rocket will be launched today (Tuesday, January 28, 2025) for any contact mission with space tourism, which is minor. New Sheepard is named after the first American, who has crossed the Earth’s atmosphere, Alan Sheepard, who also flies a suburbat, who says that without enough speed to maintain itself in orbit.
The new Sheepard NS-29 mission should be around 4:30 pm and should be included on the board of no passenger. It is primarily an uninhabited flight with Payload to develop NASA and its Artemis program experiences to test the equipment.

11 minutes turn to reproduce the moon’s gravity
So the NS-29 will create rotation plans to regenerate for 2 minutes and for the first time lunar gravity, which is six times less on Earth. Thus, an item weighing 6kg on our planet weighs only one kilogram on the moon. To do this, the new Sheepard will be 11 times in 11 minutes after separating from its booster.
So far, parabolic flights made possible to reproduce 0.16 G Lunar, but only for 20 seconds. Of these thirty experiments that will be developed, here is a small choice (this device’s name is in Basin):
-
Electro static withdrawal dust (EDL) : Lunar dust, otherwise the name of the pathogenesis, is a major problem for future missions on our natural satellite. The purpose of this experiment is to observe its behavior when it is full of electricity and is in front of the UV rays.
-
Experience of fluids in lunar gravity (forehead) : This experience will be important for systems that manage water from astronauts, and will bring liquid water detection tracks in a place without an environment.
-
Diagnosis of clay properties / thermal resistance analysis (Sparta) (Sparta) : Sparta is a tool box designed for geo mechanical tests below the lunar surface. The purpose of this test is to understand how lunar gravity will affect its performance.
Where to follow the NS-29 Mission Shot?
Blue Origin’s direct life will start around 4:30 pm and will be broadcast on his YouTube channel.
