Blue Origin is introducing its brand new space capsule today. The New Shepard spacecraft is scheduled to launch on the NS-27 mission at 6:30 pm IST from West Texas. This is the second human-rated vehicle which is being tested to expand the company's flight capacity in order to "meet growing customer demand."

You can watch the launch live on BlueOrigin.com. The webcast will begin 15 minutes before liftoff.

The new capsule named RSS Kármán Line, the company said, is equipped with advanced technologies that will improve its performance, reusability and accommodations for payloads on the booster.

Similar to its predecessor, 99 percent of the RSS Kármán Line's components including the booster, capsule, engine, landing gear, and parachutes are reusable.

The vehicle will be tested by flying it to the Kármán Line, the internationally recognised boundary of space 100 km above Earth. This is an uncrewed flight meaning there are no humans onboard. Instead, the capsule will be carrying 12 payloads - five on the booster and seven inside the crew capsule.

The payloads include new navigation systems developed for New Shepard and Blue Origin's upcoming rocket New Glenn; two different LIDAR sensors for the Lunar Permanence program - a collaboration between NASA and Blue Origin and ultra-wideband proximity operations sensors flying as part of a NASA TechFlights grant with Blue Origin's Space Systems Development group.
