Blue Origin: A successful New Shepard test shows that it is ready for astronauts

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin has successfully launched another New Shepard orbital launch. This is the 15th successful launch of New Shepard and the second for this rocket and capsule. Prior to the launch, all the steps that would be followed by the astronauts until they boarded the capsule and were placed in their positions took place. The rehearsals then ended and the alleged astronauts left 15 minutes before launch.

The five-story New Shepard was launched at an altitude of 100 kilometers before releasing the crew capsule, which contained only the test mannequin "Mannequin Skywalker". The rocket successfully returned to the ground and landed, firing its unique BE-3 engine.

The capsule, after three minutes of weightlessness, began its descent by developing three parachutes without encountering any problems.
