Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' aerospace company Blue Origin Rocket has brought both scientific and human payloads to the outer reaches of space within a relatively short period. On Monday, the NS-23 mission, the 23rd launch of the New Shepard missile system, was not as expected. The Rocket was flaming just after it launched, which caused the capsule to undergo an immediate separation. Live launch coverage displayed the capsule separating from the rocket before returning to the ground close to Blue Origin. Blue Origin launch site in Texas. A Livestream broadcast host announced that the launch was an incident and described the capsule. Blue Origin Rocket "Blue Origin tweeted. "This was a payload mission that had no astronauts aboard. The pod escape mechanism worked according to plan. More details will be provided when it is accessible." Blue Origin later identified the issue as a failure of the rocket booster. The NS-23 mission had 36 payloads, including experiments on hydrogen fuel cells, Ultrasonic waves, hydrogen fuel cells, and art. NASA sponsored all 18 shipments. In addition, the spacecraft appeared to have made an unintentional landing which is good news for the equipment on board. Blue Origin has hosted 31 individuals across several missions, including famous personalities such as Star Trek William Shatner and presenter of the TV show Michael Strahan. The last flight that was human-crewed occurred in the early part of August. Blue origin rocket The Federal Aviation Administration stated on Monday that it would supervise the investigation into the NS-23 issue. "Before it is determined whether the New Shepard vehicle can return to flying, The FAA will examine whether any procedure, process or procedure relating to the incident compromised safety for the public," the agency said. "This is a standard protocol for every breakdown inquiry." It may take a while to pinpoint the root of a rocket issue. Therefore, there might not be any quick solutions to why the booster experienced problems. The incident appeared terrifying and potentially dangerous; however, the success of the escape mechanism provided a bright side to the mission's debacle.
