Blue Origin New Shepard Flies to Space and Back a Third Time

Blue Origin Flew its New Shepard reusable rocket system a third time this week. This is the same booster they flew and landed last November and again in January. Though this flight seems substantially the same as previous flights, this time they conducted a number of experiments, including restarting the motor in a non-nominal manner: restarting it at just 1100m (3600 feet) above the landing spot.

Blue Origin is aiming at getting 100 flights from each New Shepard system, so this is just the beginning of its testing schedule. I hope they do get to 100 flights with their innovative launch system.
