Blue Origin's rocket after launching still landed and safely escaped

Founder Jeff Bezos said the rocket will explode after the test is done, but in the end it still landed safely.

Before the launch day, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com, and the founder and investor of the Blue Origin aerospace project, talked about how the New Shepard rocket would explode in the final test flight. mine.

It is not that the founder of " trial " is his own child, Bezos says so because of the nature of this experiment. It was not to try the ability of New Shepard to land like previous test launches, but to test the ship's escape system .

This is a test of the ship's escape system.

On the day of the test, Blue Origin brought this system into operation when the missile was at an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters in the air (45 seconds after launch). At this height, the missile itself is also subjected to the highest level of aerodynamic pressure.

The cockpit was safely landing on the ground, and the rocket continued its air journey.

When separated, the escape motor is activated and creates a force of 31 frequencies to push the cockpit away from the engine. The engineers calculated that the huge amount of pressure would make the missile division unable to land.

But maybe, and also luck and surprise, they were wrong. The cockpit was safely landing on the ground, and the rocket continued its air journey. When the target is reached, the missile starts its landing process.

The Blue Origin rocket landed safely.

Blue Origin's project includes more New Shepard missiles and new cockpits, with the goal of 2018 bringing some passengers (of course, paying tickets) to space. Jeff Bezos with Blue Origin also conducted research and testing of reusable missiles like Elon Musk did with SpaceX.

Keeping the missile intact is not the main goal of this latest test, what they care about is that the crew's cabin has landed safely. In addition, the rocket engine part could still land safely, adding to the great success of Blue Origin.

Currently, they are intending to bring the rocket to the exhibition museum, as the first reusable rocket. Absolutely worth it.
