Blue Origin New Shepard
New Shepard is a single stage suborbital vehicle launching six passengers on a ten minute ride to the edge of space. The single stage and crew capsule are designed to land separately and are both reusable. It is built and operated by Blue Origin.
New Shepard is capable of reaching an altitude of just over 100 km, thus meeting the FAI definition of space.
Blue Origin started flying customers on 20 July 2021.
