New Shepard Returns to Flight
Published by Space Scout on 12/19/2023
After over a year of waiting, New Shepard has returned to flight. Following a scrubbed launch on the 18th, New Shepard cleared the tower flying the NS-24 mission on December 19th at 10:43 AM. The flight carried 33 experimental payloads, ranging from student projects to NASA-funded research, to the edge of space and back again. Both the Propulsion Module and Crew Capsule returned to the ground safely, and while there was no crew riding on this flight, the successful mission paves the way for a return to crewed flights in the near future.
