The New Shepard


Named after the first american in space, the New Shepard is a sub-orbital test platform and space tourism rocket, which in November of 2015 became the first rocket to land propulsively after returning from space.

Flying uncrewed since 2015, and crewed since 2021, the New Shepard is a valuable tool for Blue Origin in it's endeavours, paving the way for new technology and helping development of the larger, orbital New Glenn rocket.


About 5 years ago, the New Shepard became my first post in this website. This craft was made as a celebration, even if a little late.

The booster should be accurate to Tail 2, however the capsule is my "own", celebrating the 5 years i've been a part of this community for.

I extend a very large Thank you to everyone who's put up with me for all of this time, and for the ones who will still have to tolerate me for another 5 years.

Action groups are named.

    Sausage rocket. Also have anyone heard the audio for when Katy Perry and her gang landed in this thing after going into space? I didn’t think they were going to have that big of an overreaction lol.

    @SpaceLAerospace I might start a New Glenn eventually.
    As for starship, there are already too many in the website.
