Blue Origin will launch its next mission, NS-27, on Monday. The flight will carry 12 payloads to space, as well as RSS Kármán Line, its new crew capsule.
Blue Origin is preparing to launch its NS-27 mission with the RSS Kármán Line, its new crew capsule, on Monday at 9AM ET. It will be the first launch for the capsule, which the company says in its announcement will have improved performance and reusability, along with “an updated livery, and accommodations for payloads on the booster.” The flight will carry two LIDAR sensors into space that will be used for Blue Origin’s Lunar Permanence program to develop Moon landers.
If Monday’s launch takes place as planned, it will be the second New Shepard flight since May, when the company carried out its first crewed launch since 2022. Blue Origin completed another New Shepard mission in August. NS-27’s next flight comes as Blue Origin works toward the goal of becoming a real SpaceX competitor.
