Blue Origin managed to simulate the moon’s gravity during a brief flight on Tuesday. The company’s New Shepard spacecraft mimicked the moon’s lower gravity for a few minutes by rotating in such a manner that would replicate conditions on the celestial body.

This is the company’s first attempt to simulate the moon’s gravity. The successful launch comes as Blue Origin is competing with the likes of Elon Musk’s SpaceX and other private players in the space sector.
The latest launch by the space company comes less than a month after Blue Origin managed to launch its New Glenn rocket on its maiden flight. The New Glenn rocket is in competition with SpaceX’s Starship and is designed for a minimum of 25 flights. The craft’s first stage is powered by seven Blue Origin-4 (BE-4) engines.
According to a post by Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp before the flight, successfully replicating the moon’s gravity could accelerate research at reduced costs. He mentioned that future trips could mimic other solar system gravity environments such as Mars.
