Closer to the space Blue Origin successfully tested the passenger capsule of its rocket

The Blue Origin company, owned by Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos, conducted another successful trial of the suborbital New Shepard ship.

In the passenger seat of the rocket was a manikin named Skywalker. Spaceflight Now writes: "The capsule and the level of the missiles have all been controlled."

The launch preparation took place at the launch site in Texas. According to test results, Blue Origin has managed to lift the device above the formal limit of space and successfully put the rocket accelerator and the capsule itself. During the flight, new pressure control mechanisms in the capsule were also checked.

The passenger capsule included a timely additional engine that sent it higher than ever. The landing of the capsule on the parachute was successful. It is said that this is an important step for Bezos and his team

Developers believe that the ship's crew will be composed of three people, and on board it will be able to embark several passengers

"All could have happened today, but that was the best possible result, "said Ariana Cornell, head of business strategy at Blue Origin, who played the lead role in the live broadcast.

"We have not yet started selling tickets for space travel.We have not set the price, we have not published these details but we must make sure that we understand our system, which means understanding all that is needed for a man's spaceflight, including the evacuation system, "added Cornell

We will add the New Shepard system consists of a reusable carrier rocket and the passenger capsule. The rocket raises the capsule above the Karman line (arbitrary 100-kilometer limit), after which the capsule is disconnected and the two parts land independently

Analysts at Teal Marco Caceres suggest that each launch of New Shepard $ 10 million, that is, the first space flights will not be profitable for Blue Origin.

Three independent sources also reported that Blue Origin's first passengers would be its own employees, although the company has not yet chosen them. The origin grows n New Glenn can start for the first time at Cape Canaveral by the end of 2020.
