A real anomaly. Blue Origin Space rocket exploded after launching (video)

This ship is Blue Origin Billionaire Blide, Amazon founder, Jeff Bezosa. Blue Origin uses the New Shepard spacecraft to send tourists to suborbital flights above the ground. During the next launch from the starting ground in Texas, a rocket carrier and a capsule were used, which were different from those used in tourist missions. Another launch of New Shepard without crew, but with a payload is called NS-23 mission.

Within 1 minute and 4 seconds after the start of the launch, the rocket laced out in the air at an altitude of about 8. 8 km. At the same time, the capsule, which was on its top, has successfully separated the protection system and landed on parachutes. Experts believe that the rocket is completely destroyed. "It was a real anomaly that we did not assume. It is good that in this freelance situation the protection system worked and the capsule separated from the rocket," says Eric Wagner Blue Origin.

Jeff Bezos used such a rocket and capsule to send three tourist missions to suborbital flight in 2022. Accordingly, it was the fourth flight of spacecraft only this year and the first since August last year with a amount of load. It was an unmanned mission that had to deliver 36 scientific useful cargoes to space within the ninth flight of the New Shepard spacecraft into the Earth space for the whole time.

Blue Origin believes that two scientific satellites that have been attached to the outside of the rocket are accurately destroyed. Independent experts said that the engine failure was most likely the cause of the explosion. Blue Origin does not speak about the predictable causes of catastrophe. It is known that engineers try to find out what happened. During its tourist flights, and there were six of them, the company Bezosa delivered 31 tourists to the space.

Each flight lasted from 10 to 15 minutes. The last tourist launch took place in August this year. Although today's flight used rocket carrier and capsule, which are different from those used for piloted missions, the Blue Origin launch schedule will most likely be changed. After all, the company specialists need to understand what happened to the rocket shortly after launch.
