Blue Origin hopes to resume space flights 'soon' after 2022 accident
ICT Desk
Jeff Bezos' space company Blue Origin said Friday it hopes to resume rocket flights "soon" following the conclusion of an investigation into a crash last year -- but it must wait for US regulators to accept the findings.
The company's New Shepard suborbital rockets, which are intended for space tourism among other purposes, have been grounded following the September 2022 accident that occurred shortly after liftoff from Texas.
The incident marked a setback for the Amazon founder's company, though observers were encouraged by the fact that had people been aboard, they would have likely survived.
The flight's rocket consisted of a single booster, with Blue Origin's NS-23 capsule on top carrying a scientific payload.
During the mission, an anomaly occurred as the rocket was climbing, appearing to stall as it experienced a technical issue.
