The crew will feel weightless for four minutes after reaching the limits of space. After this the New Shepherd rocket will separate from the booster capsule. The rocket booster will slowly land at the landing site, located about 3 kilometers north of the launch pad. By the time the rocket booster is landing, the capsule will have reached its maximum altitude.

After this, after touching the Carman line located about 100 km above, this capsule will return to Earth. Blue Origin’s live telecast will continue for this entire time. In 2 minutes after launch, the New Shepherd rocket will move towards space at 3 times the speed of sound. That is, this rocket will rise above the speed of 1029 meters per second. Meaning it will go towards space at a speed of 3704 kilometers per hour. After a minute, the booster ie the rocket will separate from its capsule. The capsule will reach a height where there will be no gravity. Here the four astronauts will feel zero gravity.
The first flight has been successful, so there is no doubt in anyone’s mind about the second one.
After spending a few minutes in space, the New Shepard capsule will return to Earth after about 9 minutes. At that time parachutes will be opened to reduce its speed rapidly. At that time the speed will be 26 kilometers per hour. But after the parachute is opened, this speed will reduce to 1.6 km. At this slow speed, the capsule will land on the ground. The first flight has been successful, so there is no doubt in anyone’s mind about the second one.
By Blue Origin’s live auction, more than 6,000 people from at least 143 countries had expressed their desire for space travel.
Let us tell you that the cost of traveling to space from the New Shepherd capsule is about Rs 2 billion 5 crore. The seat of this capsule is auctioned. The one who pays more is given a ticket.
