Blue Origin’s next New Shepard flight, NS-35, is an uncrewed mission with more than 40 scientific and research payloads onboard. This is the program’s 35th mission and will bring the total number of payloads flown on New Shepard to more than 200. The launch window opens on Saturday, August 23, at 7:30 AM CDT / 1230 UTC from Launch Site One in West Texas. The webcast will begin 15 minutes before liftoff.

The payload manifest includes 24 experiments from NASA’s TechRise Student Challenge, along with thousands of postcards on behalf of Club for the Future, Blue Origin’s STEAM-focused nonprofit. As part of its mission, Club for the Future works with organizations like NASA, universities, non-profits, and K-12 schools to inspire the next generation of space explorers. The organization has engaged nearly 95 million people globally through initiatives including Postcards to Space, standards-aligned lessons to help teachers, and an ambassador program. Students can submit their own digital postcards to fly to space here.
The mission will provide over three minutes of clean microgravity for experiments from a range of organizations, including NASA, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Oklahoma State University, University of Florida, Carthage College, University of Central Florida, Teledyne, Space Lab Technologies, and Teachers in Space, among others. This flight utilizes our dedicated payload capsule, RSS H.G. Wells, and newest New Shepard booster, the same vehicle combination that flew on NS-29 and successfully demonstrated lunar gravity simulation inside the capsule.NS-35 Manifest Highlights
