After a year, Blue origin returns to flight<\/h2>\n

Blue Origin announced via posts on social media that the company will attempt its next New Shepard flight on December 18. \u201cWe\u2019re targeting a launch window that opens on Dec. 18 for our next New Shepard payload mission. #NS24 will carry 33 science and research payloads as well as 38,000 @clubforfuture postcards to space,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n

This will be the return to flight since NS-23 experienced an anomaly mid-launch, causing the capsule to trigger its abort system. With the loss of a booster, the company has taken the last year to investigate and mitigate the cause of the failure.<\/p>\n

In March, Blue Origin shared the root cause of the failure. It stemmed from inside the BE-3 engine used on the New Shepard booster. The overheating and burn through of the engine nozzle caused sideways thrust that pushed the rocket off its trajectory.<\/p>\n
