2025年2月4日 · NS-29 will simulate the Moon’s gravity and fly 30 payloads, all but one of which is focused on testing lunar-related technologies. The payloads will experience at least two minutes of lunar gravity forces, a first for New Shepard and …

2016年1月22日 · The very same New Shepard booster that flew above the Karman line and then landed vertically at its launch site last November has now flown and landed again, demonstrating reuse. This time, New Shepard reached an apogee of 333,582 feet (101.7 kilometers) before both capsule and booster gently returned to Earth for recovery and reuse.

2025年2月4日 · New Shepard's two stages — a booster and a capsule — separated on time a little over 2.5 minutes after liftoff. The booster came back to Earth for a vertical touchdown on a landing pad a ...
