Scientists at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida are evaluating data from the Orbital Syngas Commodity Augmentation Reactor, or OSCAR, which launched on Blue Origin’s 17th New Shepard mission from West Texas. OSCAR, along with an electrostatic regolith study from the University of Central Florida, were among the important payloads on board supported by NASA’s Flight Opportunities program. Teams at Kennedy have completed the launch abort system assembly for the Orion spacecraft. The last of the four protective panels of the ogive fairings was installed at the Florida spaceport this week. The task represents a major milestone for the agency’s Artemis I launch, scheduled for later this year.
