Il New Sheppard non e' fatto per lanci orbitali, ma suborbitali per trasportare Turisti, in modo tale che possano "provare" aporox 3-5 minuti di volo nello spazio o quasi.
I lanci commerciali in tale senso dovrebbero iniziare entro il 2021 dopo quest' ultima prova.
Per lanci orbitali la Blu Origin sta sviluppando il New Glenn, riutilizzabile e dovrebe fare il primo volo di prova entro il 2022.
Globalizzazione..... si grazie.






Notizia importantissima per la Space X:
Elon Musk’s SpaceX wins contract to develop spacecraft to land astronauts on the moon
The company beat out Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin and Dynetics, a defense contractor
NASA on Friday selected Elon Musk’s SpaceX to build spacecraft that would land astronauts on the moon for the first time since the last Apollo mission, according to a source selection document obtained by The Washington Post.
The contract for the “human landing system” marks another major victory for the hard-charging company that vaults it to the top tier of the nation’s aerospace companies and solidifies it as one of the space agency’s most trusted partners.
In winning the $2.9 billion contract, SpaceX beat out Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, which had formed what it called a “national team” by partnering with aerospace giants Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Draper. SpaceX also won over Dynetics, a defense contractor based in Huntsville, Ala. (Bezos owns The Washington Post.)
NASA had originally chosen all three companies for the initial phase of the contract, and was expected to choose two of them to build the lunar lander. In other major programs, NASA has chosen multiple providers to foster competition and to ensure it has redundancy in case one can’t deliver.

La NASA ha scelto la Space X per sviluppare il nuovo lander lunare per il programma Atermis, battendo il consorzio dov'era anche la Blue Origin, la Lockheed Martin ecc ecc..
Il Lander della Space x dovrebbe essere la StarShip adattata per la missione Lunare.
Globalizzazione..... si grazie.
