Blue Origin New Shepard
#002198

The Estes New Shepard is a 1/66th scale model of the Blue Origin
New Shepard launch vehicle. It flies to altitude on a C5-3 or
C6-3, and is capable of as much as 400 ft. It too, after
deploying the capsule, falls through the atmosphere under a large
parachute to gently touch down. Like the Blue Origin New
Shepard, you can fly the Estes New Shepard again and again.

Description

In 1961 Alan Shepard became the first American in space. A decade
later Alan Shepard walked on the moon. He carved the frontiers
of space exploration so that later we could pave the path. It’s
with that legacy in mind that the New Shepard came to be. The
Estes New Shepard aims to bring that feeling of exploration, and
the excitement of a launch, to the hands of everyone.

The Blue Origin New Shepard stands 59 ft. tall, fires its BE-3
engine for 110 seconds producing 110,000 lbs of thrust.
It’s marked by name, and with the iconic Blue Origin feather
across the airframe.
The vehicle ascends through the clouds, more than 60 miles above
the ground, and into the vacuum of space. Here, the passengers
experience weightlessness. The capsule, containing the newly
minted astronauts, then falls through the atmosphere under
parachutes and touches down lightly on a cloud of dust
The boosters that kick up the cloud allow the capsule to touch
down extremely lightly, at a mile an hour or less.
