Blue Origin's "New Shepard" spacecraft completed its latest manned space flight on the 22nd, carrying 6 people on a 10-minute "space tour". According to Blue Origin, at 10:26 am on the 22nd, Central Time, the "New Shepard" spacecraft launched from a launch site in western Texas, carried by a carrier rocket to a suborbital space about 100 kilometers above the ground. Subsequently, the spacecraft separated from the rocket and entered a few minutes of autonomous flight phase. After reaching a maximum altitude of about 105 kilometers, the spacecraft began to return to the ground and safely landed under the parachute deceleration system. The entire flight process lasted about 10 minutes. According to Blue Origin, this was the 38th space flight of the "New Shepard" spacecraft, and the 17th manned flight. So far, the spacecraft has carried a total of 98 people into space to experience suborbital flight.
