New Shepard – spaceship
New Shepard which is controlled via on-board computers, without ground control.
This vertical take-off model saves 25 times more, with less waste and less refurbishment.
The reason is not to throw away the hardware.
The engine is throttled liquid fuel which allows for a precision landing.
Difference between suborbital flight and orbital flight
The suborbital flight, the spacecraft picks up maximum speed and goes up to 100km away from the earth, passing through the troposphere, stratosphere up to the Kármán line.
Upon returning, it falls in free fall, and in this fall, passengers have the feeling of zero gravity.
The Blue Origin flight arrived at a speed of 3,700km/h.
Orbital flight, on the other hand, the spacecraft is in orbit, making circular paths around the earth. Its elevation picks up high speed, since its fall to the ground is slower.
The Musk company flight aims to reach 27,358km/h (22 times the speed of sound).
