New Shepard

New Shepard is a reusable space vehicle developed by Blue Origin designed to take passengers or cargo to the edge of space. It consists of a booster that propels the capsule upward, reaching about 100 kilometers altitude, where passengers experience a few minutes of weightlessness and see the Earth from space. Afterward, the booster and capsule separate, with the booster returning safely to land and the capsule descending via parachutes. The system aims to provide affordable suborbital space tourism, scientific research opportunities, and test new space technology.
