Blue Origin NS-33 was a sub-orbital spaceflight operated by Blue Origin as part of its New Shepard space tourism program. The flight launched from Launch Site One in West Texas on June 29, 2025, at 15:40 UTC (10:40 a.m. Eastern), after launch attempts on June 21 and June 22 were scrubbed due to high winds and cloud cover, respectively. The mission lasted approximately 10 minutes, carrying six passengers to an apogee of about 105 km (65 mi), crossing the Kármán line, the FAI-recognized boundary of space.
The booster performed a powered landing approximately 7.5 minutes after liftoff, with the capsule landing under parachutes about three minutes later, within a few hundred meters of the booster. This mission marked the 13th human flight and the 33rd overall flight for the New Shepard program, and was the third crewed New Shepard flight in two and a half months, following NS-31 on April 14 and NS-32 on May 31.
