This is Blue Origins New Shepard passenger rocket.

這是藍色起源新謝潑德客運火箭。

It's designed to take up to six space tourists for short antigravity experiences at the Karman line.

Blue Origin was founded in 2000 by billionaire Jeff Bezos, with the mission of lowering the costs of an increasing access to space travel.

藍色起源公司由億萬富翁傑夫-貝佐斯於2000年創立，其使命是降低成本，增加太空旅行的機會。

It plans to accomplish this by leaning into reusability.

它計劃通過向可重複使用性傾斜來實現這一目標。

Traditional rockets are a one time only kind of deal, but new Shepard was designed with a vertical takeoff vertical landing system that allows the company to reuse parts of the rocket with minimal refurbishment.

傳統的火箭是一次性的那種，但新的 "謝潑德 "設計了垂直起飛垂直著陸系統，使公司可以用最少的翻新來重複使用火箭的部件。

Here's how it works.

下面是它的工作原理。

New Shepard is made up of two main components.

新牧馬人由兩大部分組成。

The rocket and the capsule.

火箭和太空艙。

The rocket propels the vehicle, and the capsule holds the crew.

火箭推動著飛行器，太空艙則容納著乘員。

When it takes off, it reaches a height of 62 miles or 100 kilometers.

當它起飛時，它的高度達到62英里或100公里。

At this point, the capsule separates from the rocket.

此時，太空艙與火箭分離。

Both pieces will return to Earth, the rocket using its engines to propel itself back down on the capsule using parachutes.

兩塊都將返回地球，火箭利用其發動機利用降落傘推動自己回到太空艙上。

Even though new Shepard hasn't carried any people yet, the vehicle has been used to carry various payloads for companies, universities and NASA.

儘管新的Shepard還沒有載人，但該飛行器已經被用來為公司、大學和NASA運送各種有效載荷。

This launch includes a NASA space garbage recycling experiment playfully named Oscar, a Columbia University students experiment studying the effects of weightlessness on cells and even the winning entries Oven Art and Space Contest hosted by the band OK, go for middle and high school students.

本次發佈會包括美國宇航局的太空垃圾回收實驗，俏皮地命名為奧斯卡，哥倫比亞大學的學生實驗研究失重對細胞的影響，甚至還有由樂隊OK主辦的烤箱藝術和太空競賽的獲獎作品，去為初中生和高中生。

With a likely 2020 date for the first manned launch, Blue Origin has yet to start selling tickets to the public or announced a price point.

由於首次載人發射的日期可能是2020年，藍色起源尚未開始向公眾出售門票，也沒有公佈價位。

For now, the company's focuses on making sure new Shepard is safe and ready for humankind's next giant leap and touchdown just beautiful.

目前，該公司的重點是確保新謝潑德是安全的，並準備好人類的下一個巨大的飛躍和觸摸只是美麗。
