Blue Origin NS-27 mission is ready for third launch attempt

Blue Origin has announced the third launch attempt for the NS-27 mission after New Shepard scrubbed liftoff two times this month.

New Shepard has an updated targeted launch for this new flight on October 23. The launch window will open at 10:00 AM CDT/15:000 UTC from Launch Site One. The company will begin the webcast for this flight 10 minutes prior to liftoff.

NS-27 is a debut mission for the second human-rated vehicle. This mission will expand New Shepard’s flight capacity for new flights. The launch vehicle has new tech upgrades to improve performance, reusability, and payload capacity.

The initial flight for NS-27 was set for October 7 at 8:00 AM. However, the launch was scrubbed during the final countdown to troubleshoot a vehicle issue.

The second launch attempt was announced for October 13 at 7:30 AM CDT. However, this opportunity was also scrubbed due to an issue with GPS. On October 23, Blue Origin will mark its third launch attempt for the NS-27 mission, and we’ll keep you posted if everything goes well with this mission.
