Part 2/6:
The launch was conducted from the company’s facility in southern Texas, known as Launch Site One. This particular mission, dubbed NS-29, represented the 29th flight of the New Shepard spacecraft, which consisted of a booster and a capsule that safely returned to Earth about 2.5 minutes post-launch. The rocket's two stages effectively separated, with the booster executing a controlled vertical landing, while the capsule descended and gently touched down in the Texas desert roughly 10 minutes later. Notably, even though one of the three parachutes on the capsule did not deploy fully, the landing was deemed a success.
