New Shepard’s 24th Mission Will Carry 33 Science Payloads to Space

New Shepard will fly its 24th mission on Monday, December 18. The manifest includes 33 payloads and 38,000 Club for the Future postcards from students around the world.

The NS-24 launch window opens at 8:30 AM CST / 14:30 UTC from Launch Site One in West Texas. The webcast starts at T-20 minutes on BlueOrigin.com.

This mission will bring the number of payloads flown to space on New Shepard to more than 150. More than half of the payloads on this flight are developed and flown with support from NASA. Others come from K-12 schools, universities, and STEAM-focused organizations.

This is New Shepard’s 24th flight and 13th payload mission. The program has also completed six astronaut missions and flown 31 humans above the Kármán line. From an environmental standpoint, nearly 99% of New Shepard’s dry mass is reused, including the booster, capsule, engine, landing gear, and parachutes. New Shepard’s engine is fueled by highly efficient liquid oxygen and hydrogen. During flight, the only byproduct is water vapor with no carbon emissions.

Follow Blue Origin on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and YouTube, and sign up on BlueOrigin.com to stay current on all mission details.

Unless NS5 was secretly delivered to Corn Ranch, I would expect it would be NS4 on its 9th flight. It could fly either R.S.S. H.G. Wells or First Step.

Waiting for an update on a new T-0, given there's no livestream yet, which starts 20 minutes before launch.

"We're scrubbing #NS24 today due to a ground system issue the team is troubleshooting. We’ll provide a new launch target for this week soon."

We may not see much of New Shepard after it lifts off, given the cloud cover.

The landings of both the Crew Capsule and booster are exceptions visual-wise.

SECO confirmed. Nominal orbit insertion.
