Mission Details

NS-21

Evan Dick, Katya Echazarreta, Hamish Harding, Victor Correa Hespanha, Jaison Robinson, and Victor Vescovo flew aboard New Shepard. Evan Dick previously flew on NS-19 in December 2021 and became the first person to fly on New Shepard twice.

After the powered phase performed by the booster, the crew experienced roughly three minutes of weightlessness before the capsule began to reenter the atmosphere. Once in low atmosphere, the capsule deployed parachutes and landed softly in the Texas desert.
