Blue Origin Rocket Will Take Employee "Stuff" to Space and Back

Blue Origin, the aerospace company started by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, announced on Wednesday morning, "pushing the rocket to its limits" and taking some employee payload with it

Below is the full list of what would you like to know about the "high altitude escape motor test" that launches from the company's West Texas launch site. $ 200,000 per person for brief trips to the world (19659002) Last on the list was this inclusion: "A special addition to the Mission 9 payload manifest is a suite of payloads from Blue Origin employees as a part of our internal 'Fly My Stuff' program. "

" Fly My Stuff "was not the idea of ​​Bezos, though. Bigelow Aerospace had a similar program in 2006-2007 called "Fly Your Stuff," which allowed customers of the company and others to send photos and other small items in space for a price. People feel all sorts of sentimental objects up in the Genesis II spacecraft, the photo:

The Launches Rocket at 9 am Central from Texas. Similar to SpaceX launches, a webcast will begin about 20 minutes before launching at blueorigin.com

Here's the full list of Blue Origin paysload that is going to space and back on Wednesday:

Schmitt Space Communicator Xperimental (SC1- x)

Solstar (Santa Fe, NM), developed with private funding and support from NASA's Flight Opportunities Program

On New Shepard Mission 8, Solstar demonstrated the first commercial WiFi in space. On this subject, they will take advantage of the Crew Capsule's high altitude escape and continue testing.

GAGa (Granular Anisotropic Gases)

Otto-von-Guericke University (Magdeburg, Germany) with end-to-end service OLYMPIASPACE

(Darmstadt, Germany) and funding from German space agency, DLR

The GAGa payload investigates the statistics of granular gases, dilute collections of solid grains that interact by random collisions. Data from GAGa on New Shepard Mission 9 will help validate the existence of a number of theoretical models and contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of related systems

Suborbital Flight Experiment Monitor-2 (SFEM-2)

NASA Johnson Space Center (Houston, TX)

SFEM-2 was first flown on Mission 8 of New Shepard, and will collect additional data on mission.

Condensed Droplet Experiment for NASA in Spaceflight Sub-Orbital (ConDENSS)

Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN), funded through the NASA Flight Opportunities Program

ConDENSS will review the behavior of small droplets of water in order to support the development of small and efficient heat transfer systems for spaceflight.

APL Electromagnetic Field Experiment

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, funded through the NASA Flight Opportunities Program

experiment marks the first flight of the JANUS 2.1 platform with sensors to monitor magnetic fields and ambient pressure inside the vehicle. Previous versions of JANUS were flown on New Shepard Missions 6 and 7.

Vibration Isolation Platform Logger Data

Controlled Dynamics, funded through the NASA Flight Opportunities Program

VIP DL is a technology demo for an active stabilization

mu Space Corporation (Bangkok, Thailand)

Blue Origin "Fly My Stuff"

A special addition to the Mission 9 payload manifest is a result of payloads from Blue Origin employee The New Shepard is a part of our internal "Fly My Stuff" program.
