Blue Origin New Shepard Human Spaceflight Mission NS-28: "Apogee"

Blue Origin New Shepard Human Spaceflight Mission NS-28: "Apogee"

On November 22, 2024, Blue Origin successfully completed its ninth sub-orbital human spaceflight and the 28th flight for the New Shepard program. The astronaut crew included: Emily Calandrelli, Sharon Hagle, Marc Hagle, Austin Litteral, James (J.D.) Russell, and Henry (Hank) Wolfond. Sharon and Marc Hagle both flew for the second time. Including [this] crew, New Shepard has now flown 47 people to space (three people have flown twice).

Apogee: This is the most distant point (ap-) on an elliptical orbit around Earth (-gee). The word is derived from the Greek "apogaion" meaning "away from the Earth". Earth in Greek is "gaia/ge".


Emily Dawn Calandrelli, seen at the beginning of the video, is an "American science communicator, engineer, author, commercial astronaut, and television presenter. She was the host and an executive producer of Xploration Outer Space and Emily's Wonder Lab."
