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 ...

Jeff Bezos’ rocket company gave NASA a brief taste of the moon’s gravity ... artificial lunar gravity by repeatedly spinning ...

American private space company Blue Origin managed to simulate the gravity of the Moon for about two minutes during New Shepard flight ...

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 ...

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.

New Shepard is a launch vehicle designed to be fully reusable, with a capsule that returns to Earth via three parachutes ... to attempt to simulate the moon's gravity. To pull off the feat ...

One major departure from Blue Origin's past New Shepard flights is the spin maneuver to create the effect of one-sixth Earth's gravity (simulating the gravity of the moon) during the NS-29 mission.

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 ...

The difference between Earth and lunar gravity is one of the challenges space agencies and companies are trying to overcome in their quest to colonize the Moon. Not an easy thing, given how one of ...
