THE NEW SHEPARD SPACECRAFT
The New Shepard Crew Capsule has the capacity to carry up to six people in a large pressurized interior of 13 cubic cubic meters. The main objective of Blue Origin is to open to the general public the experience of microgravity and the vision of the curvature of the Earth. Each large window can pass 92% of visible light despite its structural ability to hold pressure making the experience much clearer.
The public had a chance to see unique views of the people inside the capsule during the first human flight of the New Shepard NS-16. This is due to the power of 12 indoor cameras with HDR capabilities so exceptional that both the interior and exterior of the capsule can be adequately exposed.
For safety, the capsule has an integrated solid fuel interruption motor known as the Crew Capsule Escape Solid Rocket Motor manufactured by Aerojet Rocketdyne.
THE NEW SHEPARD ROCKET
Named in honor of the first American launched into a suborbital trajectory, Alan Shepard, this rocket is designed for suborbital flights. Four New Shepard rockets have been built so far: NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS4. NS1 made its maiden flight in 2015.
The New Shepard booster is powered by a single BE-3PM liquid fuel engine with the ability to produce 489 kN of thrust. The BE-3 is powered by liquid hydrogen (LH 2) and liquid oxygen (LOx) and was developed and tested by Blue Origin in the 2000s.
NS-21 will be the seventh flight of the NS4 rocket. NS4 has some improved accessibility panels for easier cleaning and hardware checkout. NS4 has already made five flights, in which it successfully landed together with the capsule. These tests gave Blue Origin and the FAA the confidence to fly humans on this booster.
