New Shepard System

The Blue Origin New Shepard reusable launch system is a vertical-takeoff, vertical-landing (VTVL), suborbital manned rocket that is being developed by Blue Origin, a company owned by Amazon founder and businessman Jeff Bezos, as a commercial system for suborbital space tourism.

The New Shepard makes reference to the first United States astronaut in space, Alan Shepard.

On 23 November 2015, after reaching 100.5 km (330,000 ft) altitude in its second test flight, the booster rocket successfully performed a powered vertical soft landing.
