      Blue Origin has pushed back its NS-12 mission on a New Shepard rocket to Wednesday, Dec. 11, at 11:00 a.m. EST due to unfavorable weather conditions.

      “We are continuing to monitor weather conditions and will post an update at T-2 hours,” the company tweeted on Tuesday.

      The NS-12 mission will be its ninth commercial payload and 100th customer into orbit on a New Shepard rocket. It will be the sixth consecutive launch of the specific reusable New Shepard rocket used in the NS-12 mission.
