NASA, Blue Origin partnering to bring lunar gravity to the New Shepard capsule
As a greater testing ground for these emerging technologies, NASA will soon have more options for observing those innovations in lunar gravity thanks to a collaboration with Blue Origin to bring fresh capabilities to their New Shepard reusable suborbital rocket system. Right now, NASA can replicate the Moon’s limited gravity on parabolic flights in converted aircraft like the retired KC-135 "Vomit Comet" that helped train astronauts from 1994 to 2004, and in special centrifuges aboard suborbital vehicles. NASA currently employs a Navy C-9 aircraft for their Limited Gravity Program, ...
