Blue Origin will fly NS-31 above the Kármán Line, the internationally recognized boundary of space, via the human passenger pod on top of the New Shepard rocket. After completing the final milestone, the pod will reenter the Earth’s atmosphere and land on the landing zone following parachute deployment.
