Blue Origin has launched a New Shepard rocket for the first time in 15 months

On Tuesday, December 19, Blue Origin successfully completed its 24th mission and first in more than 15 months. The launch was carried out after a series of delays, the flight lasted 10 minutes.

The first stage, as planned, landed near the launch pad, and the capsule reached the Karman line, returned to Earth and made a successful parachute landing. The whole process was broadcast live on Blue Origin.

The company’s next step on the way to returning to regular flights is a mission with people, which has not yet been announced.

The reusable New Shepard system – a single-stage launch vehicle and a capsule that can accommodate six people – is designed for both flights with space tourists and payloads.
