None of the above. However, shortly after takeoff, the rocket encountered a phenomenon known as Max Q, which is a term used in aviation to represent the maximum dynamic pressure on an aircraft during flight. In this case, a large shock wave occurred on the rocket. Consequently, the New Shepard escape motor was activated, deploying a small motor to safely distance itself from the damaged rocket. BLUE ORIGIN ROCKET EXPLODED AFTER LAUNCH Blue Origin later announced that the cause of the issue was a problem in the nozzle of the rocket's large engine, which directs the exhaust gas. There were no reports of injuries on site and Blue Origin said that its scientific payloads and capsule can be relaunched. However, the rocket was destroyed by colliding with an unmanned motor. DESIGN CHANGES Blue Origin stated that it made design changes in the combustion chamber to address the issue, and adjusted the burn parameters or used data for modeling safe flights. The company said in its announcement, "Design modifications in the nozzle improved structural performance under thermal and dynamic loads." The rocket was prepared for a relaunch after the on-site repairs and an inspection by the Federal Aerospace Administration. WHEN, AT WHAT TIME AND WHERE WILL THE NS-25 MISSION BE VIEWED? Blue Origin's NS-25 mission will be streamed live from the company's official website on Saturday, May 19th at 4:30 PM.
