12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,800
the final frontier together on 
the Elon Musk podcast. 

13
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:51,500
Hi everybody and welcome back to
the show Blue origin SpaceX 

14
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:56,200
competitor rocket company. 
Jeff Bezos is baby. 

15
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:00,700
They recently experienced an 
anomaly during the NS 23. 

16
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:04,900
Uncrewed suborbital, spaceflight
mission of the new Shepherd 

17
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:09,700
rocket, which launched on 
September, 12 of 20 20, 20 the 

18
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:11,900
flight was carrying the capsule,
RSS h.g. 

19
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:16,100
Wells, and the propulsion module
till 3:00, and involve Six 

20
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:20,700
payloads including 18 funded by 
NASA's flight opportunities 

21
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:22,800
program. 
And during the flight, the 

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,300
booster failed during max-q, 
triggering the crew capsule 

23
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:29,600
Escape system and this system, 
functioned as designed and 

24
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,800
brought the capsule in its 
payloads, to a safe landing at 

25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,000
launch site. 
One with no damage. 

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,000
This propulsion module, on the 
other hand, commanded a shutdown

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,700
of the be-3 p.m. engine and 
followed an unpowered trajectory

28
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:47,200
to impact within the defined. 
And flight safety analysis 

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,000
prediction, resulting in no 
danger to human life or 

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,900
property. 
Now, in accordance with the new 

31
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:56,900
Shepherd. 
Mishap investigation plan, blue 

32
00:01:56,900 --> 00:02:01,000
origin, formed a mishap 
investigation team, the MIT, 

33
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,700
which included representatives 
from Blue origin safety. 

34
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:07,200
And Mission Assurance. 
Organizations the FAA, the 

35
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,400
national Transportation safety 
board and NASA's flight 

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,200
opportunities program and 
Commercial crew office. 

37
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Now the investigation Concluded 
that the direct cause of the 

38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:23,500
mishap was a structural fatigue.
Failure of the be3 p.m. engine 

39
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:27,700
nozzle during powered flight, 
the structural fatigue was 

40
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:31,100
caused by operational 
temperatures that exceeded the 

41
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:35,400
expected and analyze values of 
the nozzle material testing of 

42
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,300
the be-3, p.m. engine began 
immediately following the mishap

43
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:43,600
and establish, that the flight 
configuration of the nozzle 

44
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:46,800
operate at hotter temperatures, 
And previous design 

45
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,800
configurations, basically engine
got too hot and it failed. 

46
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,400
Now forensic evaluation of the 
recovered nozzle fragments also 

47
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,700
showed clear, evidence of 
thermal damage and hot streaks, 

48
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:02,300
resulting from increased 
operating temperatures and the 

49
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:05,400
fatigue location on the flight 
nozzle is aligned with the 

50
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,200
persistent hot streak identified
during the investigation. 

51
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:13,200
Now, the MIT the term of that 
nozzle changes made to the 

52
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,300
engines boundary layer cooling 
system. 

53
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:18,600
Accounted for an increase in 
nozzle Heating and explain the 

54
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,800
hot streaks. 
Present. 

55
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,900
Blue origin is implementing 
corrective actions. 

56
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:25,900
At this point, including design 
changes to the combustion 

57
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:29,200
chamber and operating 
parameters, which have reduced 

58
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,900
engine, nozzle, bulk and hot 
streak temperatures. 

59
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:35,500
Additional design changes to the
nozzle haven't proved structural

60
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:39,000
performance under thermal and 
dynamic loads. 

61
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,500
Now, the crew capsule and all 
the payloads on board. 

62
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:47,600
Landed safely and will be flown.
Again, it all system designed to

63
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,000
protect Public Safety function 
as planned. 

64
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,000
And there were no injuries 
during this flight. 

65
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,800
There was no damage to 
ground-based systems and all 

66
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,700
debris was recovered in the 
designated Hazard Area. 

67
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,500
Public Safety was unaffected by 
the mishap and no changes to 

68
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:07,000
crew safety system. 
Designs were recommended as a 

69
00:04:07,008 --> 00:04:11,100
result of the investigation. 
Now, blue origin expects to 

70
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:15,500
return to flight soon and 
they'll Reef Li the NS 23 

71
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:18,800
payloads. 
The company has also convened a 

72
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,200
mishap review board the mrb 
which included external non 

73
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,600
advocate. 
Advisors to review, casual 

74
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,400
determinations made by the MIT 
and will continue to exercise 

75
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,700
oversight of the corrective 
action, implementation. 

76
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:37,500
Now, blue Origins, and s23 
mishap was the first complete 

77
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,900
mission failure of the new 
Shepherd vehicle and the second 

78
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:44,700
inflate anomaly. 
After the ns1 where the booster 

79
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:48,500
crashed upon Landing, while the 
capsule landed safely though. 

80
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,300
Now this was the fourth time, 
the abort motor has been used, 

81
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:56,100
and only time outside of testing
the three previous times, were a

82
00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:01,000
pad abort test and in-flight 
abort test at Max Q the ns5 and 

83
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,200
an in-flight test at high 
altitude. 

84
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:07,800
The NS 9, despite the mishap 
blue Origins commitment to 

85
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:09,400
safety. 
Remain steadfast. 

86
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,300
They'll continue on in the 
company's rigorous approach to 

87
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:17,200
safety was demonstrated by its 
prompt formation of the MIT and 

88
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,000
the mrb And the information and 
investigation was conducted with

89
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,800
FAA oversight, in included, 
representatives from the NTSB 

90
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:29,100
and NASA and the commercial crew
office. 

91
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:37,500
Now, let's see the be-3 p.m. 
engine has gun under exclusive 

92
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,400
criticism lately, and their head
over 100 tests across various 

93
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,500
conditions, and durations prior 
to the NS 23 mishap in The 

94
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:51,800
engine has also been used 
successfully on previous new 

95
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,100
Shepherd, flights sort of like a
falcon 9 now, including the NS 

96
00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:00,300
22 Mission, which took place 
just two weeks prior to this 

97
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:04,200
mishap the NS 23. 
Mishap highlights the inherent 

98
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,500
risks associated with space 
flight and the need for a 

99
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:12,100
continued commitment to safety 
with all rocket companies, and 

100
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:14,600
blue Origins response to the 
mishap demonstrates, the 

101
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,600
importance of rigorous safety, 
protocols thorough 

102
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,400
investigation. 
And implementation of corrective

103
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,600
actions. 
In addition to its safety 

104
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,600
protocols. 
Blue origin is also focused on 

105
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,400
advancing space, exploration and
making it more accessible to 

106
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,200
everyone. 
This is for the future in the, 

107
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,100
company's new Shepherd vehicle 
is designed to provoke or 

108
00:06:34,100 --> 00:06:37,600
provide suborbital flights for 
paying customers with a focus on

109
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,800
providing a unique and 
exhilarating experience of space

110
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,300
flight. 
They don't quite make it to 

111
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,500
orbit, though. 
And blue are Gentiles also 

112
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:46,900
involve developing. 
The new Glenn rocket. 

113
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,800
It's a huge rocket which is 
designed to provide orbital 

114
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,800
launches and is expected to 
begin flying. 

115
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:57,900
Lying in the next few years at 
the earliest, the new Glenn is 

116
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:01,000
being developed with a focus on 
safety, reliability and reuse 

117
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,900
ability. 
With the goal of reducing, the 

118
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:06,500
cost of accessing space and 
enabling new opportunities at 

119
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:10,100
huge payloads for space 
exploration and Commerce in the 

120
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:15,500
future. 
Now the NS 23 mishap experienced

121
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:18,200
by Blue origin. 
Highlights the inherent risk, 

122
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,000
Association associated with 
space flight and the importance 

123
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:26,200
of a continued commitment to 
safety from all rocket companies

124
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,400
and aerospace companies, this 
investigation into the mishap 

125
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,900
demonstrated, blue Origins 
rigorous approach to safety and 

126
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:35,700
their continued commitment to 
it. 

127
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,200
And, as well as the company's 
ability to quickly identify the 

128
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,600
root cause of these, kind of 
problems and implement, Creative

129
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:47,600
and corrective actions. 
Now, Lauren's, going to keep 

130
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,700
going, they're going to continue
to commit to advancing space 

131
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:55,500
exploration, and they're going 
to keep focusing on developing, 

132
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:58,600
safe, and reliable Space Systems
in the future. 

133
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:02,600
And they're also going to try to
reduce the cost to space, so you

134
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,800
and I can all go to space 
someday out of blue origin 

135
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,500
rocket. 
Thank you for listening.
