01:05And Noon Shepard has cleared the tower!
01:09If you're following along from home, you can note the speed and altitude graphics on your screen to the left.
01:16And as the capsule and the booster separate, you'll also be able to see those graphics split and follow their
01:22ascent and descent as well.
01:25And right now, the engine is at 100% power level.
01:30A beautiful shot there of the BE-3.
01:44And here we are approaching our Q bucket.
01:47What is that for our viewers who don't know?
01:49It's where there's —
01:50Max Q, maximum dynamic pressure.
01:51Oh, we have the max aerodynamic stress on the vehicle, and so we're actually going to power down the engine
01:57as we go through that bucket.
01:59Excellent.
02:00Mach 1, vehicle is supersonic.
02:05Engine maintaining full throttle.
02:17Chamber pressure is nominal.
02:23We're about a minute and a half, just passing 60,000 feet.
02:41I love shots like this, where you can just see the glow of the engine.
02:45Yeah, the BE-3 shining bright.
02:47A great shot from our long-range camera.
02:50Over 100,000 feet now.
02:53And we've also got a camera there on the booster, looking back down on West Texas.
03:02Begins rattle down.
03:03Stand by, MECO.
03:08For our viewers who are just joining us and don't know, MECO is our main engine cutoff.
03:14MECO confirmed.
03:16And there you have it.
03:27Stand by, separation.
03:29Separation confirmed.
03:34And as I mentioned, if you look to the left-hand side of your screen, you'll notice that the telemetry
03:40has split,
03:40so you'll be able to follow the capsule and the booster separately.
03:44They reach apogee at right about the same time.
04:08You'll notice on your screen, we've reached zero G. I know there are so many students and teachers watching today.
04:15We say hello to you, and we are also excited to learn more about your experiments and the results of
04:19those experiments.
04:21The capsule has passed the Kármán line.
04:23And there you have it.
04:24The capsule has passed the Kármán line.
04:27And, yeah, we can't wait to learn more once NS35 returns back to West Texas.
04:46I always think it's so cool to have that split screen where you can see Texas from the booster,
04:50and we've got that long-range camera that I know it's kind of hard to see,
04:54but we do have the booster and the capsule there.
04:56Capsule apogee at 345,000 feet.
05:02Yeah, soon on the image on the right, we'll be able to see.
05:06Oh, you can kind of see it.
05:07You can see two little dots.
05:09That is the capsule and the booster.
05:14They've reached apogee.
05:15They've crossed the Kármán line, and now they are making their way back down to West Texas.
05:20And since we do have so many students watching today, Claire, do you want to kind of explain why the
05:25booster will land first?
05:26Yeah, so the booster is going to land about two miles north of the launch pad,
05:34and it is more aerodynamic, so it is going to go through the air a lot faster than the capsule.
05:40Therefore, it's going to land before the crew capsule lands.
05:42That's right.
05:43The crew capsule, as you notice, is more of a teardrop shape.
05:46Booster descent nominal through 300,000 feet.
05:52And we are watching the booster and the capsule from our long-range cameras out in West Texas.
05:58Capsule body rates look good.
06:03Just over five minutes into NS35.
06:20Booster descent nominal.
06:29The booster coming in under 200,000 feet.
06:34An autonomous landing is what you'll see.
06:37Again, as Claire mentioned, about two miles from our launch pad.
06:40Capsule has reached atmospheric pierce point.
06:47Confirm booster forward fin deploys.
06:50So those forward fins are some of our aerodynamic surfaces that help us fly and return back to the landing
06:59pad.
07:21Here comes the booster.
07:27Just past six and a half minutes into flight.
07:30Great shot there.
07:34Booster drag brakes deployed.
07:39And now we're coming up to my favorite part,
07:41is when we will actually relight the engine and the booster lands.
07:46Let's see it.
07:54Engine restart.
07:57Engine restart.
07:59Landing pad is deployed.
08:13Booster touchdown.
08:15Welcome home, New Shepard booster.
08:15Welcome home, New Shepard booster.
08:19Yes, beautiful touchdown and great shots from our camera operators.
08:23Starting booster auto-shakeout.
08:36Welcome home, New Shepard booster.
