Blue Origin will simulate moon gravity on rocket launches for NASA – Space.com
The first flights could launch in 2022.
Blue Origin plans to deliver moon gravity-style missions on spaceflights much closer to Earth.
Starting in 2022, the company plans to meet a long-standing need to simulate lunar gravity that would be one-sixth that of Earth’s for larger payloads and for longer periods of time than the current options. Blue Origin will modify its suborbital New Shepard spacecraft to act like a large centrifuge in Earth orbit, gently offering a lunar-like push on the experiments inside the spacecraft.
