Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket typically reaches an altitude of about 62 miles (100 kilometers), which is recognized internationally as the Kármán line-the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space
. Some reports specify the altitude as roughly 66 miles (about 106 kilometers)
. The entire suborbital flight lasts around 10 to 11 minutes, during which passengers experience a few minutes of weightlessness before the rocket returns to Earth
. In summary:
- Altitude reached: approximately 62–66 miles (100–106 km), crossing the Kármán line
- Flight duration: about 10 to 11 minutes
- Mission type: suborbital spaceflight with brief weightlessness
This altitude allows Blue Origin's New Shepard to provide space tourism experiences by briefly entering space and returning safely within minutes
