Blue Origin Successfully Launches 35th New Shepard Mission After Prolonged Delay

On September 18, 2025, Blue Origin successfully launched its NS-35 mission running on Launch Site One in West Texas, and deploying over 40 scientific and educational payloads into suborbital space. The flight was uncrewed, which utilized RSS H.G. Wells capsule, and it flew beyond the 100-kilometer Kármán Line and landed safely onto the earth. This 35th New Shepard mission underscores the increasing involvement of the company in the reusable spaceflight and its desire to develop more research opportunity and student involvement in micro-gravity experiments. Scientific Payloads & Educational Outreach According to official website, NS-35's manifest included a wide range of experiments designed to take advantage of several minutes of microgravity. Research teams tested material durability, imaging systems, and biological processes under weightless conditions—studies that can inform spacecraft design, medical science, and future exploration. Notably, the flight carried 24 student ex...
