The third New Shepard has modifications for improved reusability, he said, such as access panels that enable more rapid servicing in between flights. Blue Origin is also trying to improve New Shepard’s thermal protection.
Another major difference between the second and third versions include real capsule windows, Mowry said — the ones on version two were painted.
Gunderson: we’ll be launching the human-rated version of New Shepard starting later this year. Intend to be flying people next yr. #vonbraun
If New Shepard flight 7 is truly going to fly by the end of the year they’ve got 25 days to do it. Any indications or rumors of a flight being prepped? I just checked the NOTAMS page and found nothing from Albuquerque put out regarding spaceflight activity yet.
This is another unmanned test flight?
