Jeff Bezos' spaceflight company Blue Origin simulated lunar gravity conditions today (Feb. 4) during the 29th launch of its ...

Partners use Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket to test out technologies bound for the moon—without actually sending them there ...

Blue Origin said the spacecraft achieved moon gravity by using a new Reaction Control System, which will take charge of making the revolutions. The spin simulates one-sixth of the Earth's gravity.

but it was the first to mimic the moon's gravity. The gravitational pull of the lunar surface is about 1/6 that of Earth's, meaning a person who weighs about 100 pounds would feel closer to just ...

Another one, called the Lunar-g Combustion Investigation, studied "how materials catch fire in the moon's gravity compared to Earth's," Blue Origin wrote. "The findings will help NASA and its ...
