After the successful first crewed flight last month, Blue Origin launched 17th New Shepard mission full of scietific payloads for NASA and other researchers.<\/p>\n

This was the 8th flight for this particular booster, which was not the same booster to fly Jeff Bezos and Wally Funk as this booster is designated for scietific missions only. At about 10:34 a.m. EDT on Thursday, the New Shepard rocket lifted off from its launch site in west Texas for the 17th time.<\/p>\n

The countdown was delayed due to several long holds that took place throughout the countdown. The first hold lasted about 15 mintes and no comment was given as to why the countdown had to held. The second hold happened just before T-1 minute and was apparently due to a payload readiness problem, this hold lasted almost 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

After the holds where clearned, the clocked was reset to T-10 minutes and it counted down to 0 were the New Shepard rocket lifted off. After that, the rocket performed as inteded, with the booster and capsule landing succesfully after a short 10 minute flight.<\/p>\n
