Blue Origin flight launched from Van Horn reaches Lunar-G milestone

VAN HORN, Texas (KVIA) -- Blue Origin's flight today reached a new milestone. The flight is described as the company's first Lunar-G flight.
"By simulating lunar gravity, customers can accelerate their learning and technology readiness for lunar payloads at a much lower cost," official posted on X. "Previously, only centrifuges or parabolic flights could simulate the Moon's gravity for a few seconds."
We just completed our 29th flight of the New Shepard program, the 14th payload mission, and the first Lunar-G flight! The payloads experienced roughly two minutes of lunar gravity forces.
