Blue Origin's famed New Shepard spacecraft simulated the moon's low gravity on board its capsule during a brief flight ...

A Blue Origin spacecraft will attempt to mimic lunar gravity in a daring maneuver during a planned Tuesday morning launch ...

Blue Origin said the spacecraft achieved moon gravity by using a new Reaction Control System, which will take charge of making the revolutions. The spin simulates one-sixth of the Earth's gravity.

One major departure from Blue Origin's past New Shepard flights is the spin maneuver to create the effect of one-sixth Earth's gravity (simulating the gravity of the moon) during the NS-29 mission.

Another one, called the Lunar-g Combustion Investigation, studied "how materials catch fire in the moon's gravity compared to Earth's," Blue Origin wrote. "The findings will help NASA and its ...

but it was the first to mimic the moon's gravity. The gravitational pull of the lunar surface is about 1/6 that of Earth's, meaning a person who weighs about 100 pounds would feel closer to just ...
