Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space venture has donated a New Shepard rocket booster, plus a New Shepard capsule, to the Smithsonian.

After an initial 3-hr. delay and three countdown holds, Blue Origin scrubbed plans for an Oct. 7 uncrewed first suborbital launch of its second human-rated New Shepard rocket with its previously unflown RSS Karman Line crew capsule from the company’s Launch Site One near Van Horn in East Texas.

Blue Origin postponed the debut launch of its second human-rated New Shepard spacecraft, designated NS-27, on October 13 due to a GPS system issue.
