Blue Origin Notches 9th Human Spaceflight Mission

Flight Was 28th Overall For New Shepard Program

Blue Origin successfully completed its 28th flight (NS-28) under the New Shepard program and the 9th human suborbital space flight, the company announced on November 22.

The Jeff Bezos-founded private spaceflight company flew New Shepard with a crew of six, making a total of 47 people who have flown on the vehicle. Three of them have flown twice.

The crew on this flight consisted of Sharon Hagle, Marc Hagle, Emily Calandrelli, J.D. Russell, Hank Wolfond, and Austin Litteral. Like the other astronauts who’ve flown on New Shepard, the experience brings a profound and life-changing shift in perspective.

The suborbital flight profile is a simple parabolic flight straight up and then straight back down of about fifteen minutes duration. Blue Origin’s flights are launched from the company’s spaceport near Van Horn, Texas.

“It’s always moving to witness an astronaut crew return from space changed by their experience on New Shepard,” said Phil Joyce, Senior Vice President, New Shepard. “This mission amplifies the importance of STEAM and inspiring the next generation, and we welcomed back two returning astronauts. A big thank you to all our customers for the opportunity to provide this experience, and for helping to advance our mission to build a road to space for the benefit of Earth.”
