This spacecraft is designed to take passengers into space on a suborbital flight, before safely returning to Earth. This mission is a huge step forward in commercial space travel. It offers a look into the future where space is a frontier accessible to all. Update from Blue Origin: The NS-26 crew includes the following six people: Nicolina Elrick, Rob Ferl, Eugene Grin, Dr. Eiman Jahangir, Karsen Kitchen, and Ephraim Rabin. Karsen will become the youngest woman ever to cross the Kármán line. Ferl, will be the first NASA-funded researcher to perform experiments aboard a commercial space crew. Ferl’s experiment will help scientists “understand how plant genes react to the transition to and from microgravity.” He will “activate a Kennedy Space Center Fixation Tube, or KFT, to “fix” or take a snapshot of the gene activity of an Arabidopsis thaliana plant inside the tube so researchers can later study it in the lab. On the ground, co-investigator Anna-Lisa Paul will track Ferl’s actions and activate identical control KFTs at the same four times during the flight. This mission will be the eighth human flight for the New Shepard program and the 26th in its history. To date, the program has flown 37 humans above the Kármán line, the internationally recognized boundary of space.“ While Ephraim prepares for this adventure, Parchem supplies essential raw materials to industries from pharmaceuticals and biotechnology to specialty chemicals and cosmetics worldwide.
