No tactical questions about Blue Origin asked of Bezos in his #codecon interview, like when Blue Origin will next launch New Shepard...
 
  Jeff Foust ‏@jeff_foust  1 июн.  
Bezos, as he's said in the past, is not focused on Mars like Elon Musk; wants to use space to make Earth a better place. #codecon
 
  Jeff Foust ‏@jeff_foust  1 июн.  
Bezos: difference is that the infrastructure needed for businesses like Amazon already in place 20 yrs ago; not the same for space #codecon
 
  Jeff Foust ‏@jeff_foust  1 июн.  
Jeff Bezos, at #codecon: space industry has been in "stasis" over the last 50 years. Compare that to dynamism of Internet.

RELEASE 16-056
NASA Awards Contract for Suborbital Flight Services  

Blue Origin's New Shepard vehicle is seen here taking to the skies from the company's West Texas launch site. Blue Origin is one of six companies that will integrate and fly technology payloads in support of NASA's Flight Opportunities Program.

NASA has sel ected Blue Origin, LLC, in Van Horn, Texas, to integrate and fly technology payloads near the boundary of space on their New Shepard suborbital spacecraft in support of NASA's Flight Opportunities Program.
This is the sixth company selected for an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract under the Suborbital Reusable Launch Vehicle (sRLV) Flight and Payload Integration Services solicitation, which has a combined value not to exceed $45 million.
Starting June 1, the contract with Blue Origin will compete with the other program companies for task orders to deliver payload integration and flight services. All task orders must be initiated within the contract's three-year performance period.
"We are pleased to have Blue Origin join our cadre of Flight Opportunities service providers," said Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator for NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) in Washington. "Adding additional flight providers enables NASA and the broader aerospace community to demonstrate and transition space technologies, developing new capabilities faster and, potentially, at lower cost."
This contract is a continuation of contracts awarded in 2014 and 2015, providing commercial capabilities using proven flight systems. The contract allows for ramping on of new vendors and the addition of new flight profiles on at least an annual basis, as determined by the government's requirements.
Blue Origin will join the following firms currently under contract:
 

[/li]
• Masten Space Systems, Inc., Mojave, California
• Near Space Corporation, Tillamook, Oregon
• UP Aerospace, Inc., Littleton, Colorado
• Virgin Galactic, LLC, New York
• World View Enterprises, Inc., Tucson, Arizona
  

Through the Flight Opportunities Program, STMD selects promising technologies fr om industry, academia and government, and tests them on commercial launch vehicles. The Flight Opportunities Program is funded by STMD, and managed at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. STMD is responsible for developing the crosscutting, pioneering, new technologies and capabilities needed by the agency to achieve its current and future missions.

Bezos adds "We'll provide a heads up when we know the flight date," which implies, like the previous test flight, some advance notice.

Next New Shepard test flight "will likely be before the end of the month," Jeff Bezos says in a Blue Origin email update today.

Blue Origin clearing land for massive rocket factory

This week's #Trailblazers features an open-ocean SUP session. Summertime in Florida often brings smaller, glassier ocean conditions, making it a perfect time to take out the SUP. Here are five tips for playing it safe on the water.Michelle Mulak

Bulldozers and excavators this week continued clearing land at Kennedy Space Center's Exploration Park where Blue Origin will build a rocket factory rivaling the area's largest spaceflight facilities.
The 475,000 square foot manufacturing center, which will stand eight stories tall and stretch longer than two football fields, is expected to be in place as soon as the end of next year or early 2018.
A new orbital rocket built there could be ready for a first launch fr om Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 36 before the end of the decade.
"We are excited to have begun the site preparation work for our orbital launch vehicle manufacturing facility in Florida," said Blue Origin President Rob Meyerson. "This is just another big step toward our vision of enabling an enduring presence in space."
Work on the 139-acre site began about eight months after Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon.com and Blue Origin, visited the Cape to announce the company's intent to build and launch reusable rockets on the Space Coast.

On Sept. 15, 2015, Blue Origin and Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos visited Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 36 to announce plans to build and launch rockets in Brevard County. At right is Florida Gov. Rick Scott (Photo: MALCOLM DENEMARK/FLORIDA TODAY)

The factory will be the first of its kind in Brevard County, which historically has assembled and launched rockets built elsewh ere.
Blue Origin eventually expects to employ more than 300 people with average wages of about $89,000, and to invest more than $200 million in facilities, including some to be built at Launch Complex 36.
Clearing began about two weeks ago of more than 70 acres south and west of Space Commerce Way in Exploration Park, on NASA property managed by Space Florida. Mounds of brush now dot the construction site described in permitting records as abandoned citrus grove overgrown with Brazilian pepper and Australian pine.

"It certainly is an indication that this very big development in the world of commercial aerospace is proceeding, and we're very excited about what the potential is, in terms of jobs, in terms of other future capital investment," said Troy Post, director of the North Brevard Economic Development Zone.
The zone, which was established in 2011 to help mitigate the impact of the shuttle program's retirement, will contribute $8 million to the project once a certificate of occupancy is issued. That's part of at least $18 million in state incentives given to Blue Origin.
Public records show Blue Origin's main manufacturing facility will measure 725 feet long, 345 feet wide and 75 feet tall, with a "super high bay" rising 82 feet. KSC Director Bob Cabana recently compared the factory's footprint to that of NASA's 52-story Vehicle Assembly Building.
And Blue Origin's Exploration Park plans leave room for an additional 150,000 square-foot manufacturing building and 50,000 square-foot processing facility that could be added later.

The company headquartered near Seattle currently is testing its suborbital New Shepard vehicle, a booster and capsule that have launched to space and landed three times at Blue Origin's private range in West Texas. A fourth unmanned test flight is expected before the end of this month.

Suborbital flights of paying space tourists could begin within two years. At the same time, the company is developing a larger orbital rocket, powered by engines built in-house, for launch by the end of the decade.
Bezos' long-term goal is to drastically lower the cost of human spaceflight, making it possible for millions of people to live and work in space.
"I want thousands of entrepreneurs doing amazing things in space," he said this week at the Code Conference in California. "And to do that, we have to dramatically lower the cost of access to space."
Blue Origin's is only the first large project destined for Exploration Park. OneWeb Satellites will build a satellite manufacturing facility measuring at least 100,000 square feet across the street, employing about 250 people.
