The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has wrapped up its investigation into the mishap that happened to Blue Origin's New Shepard suborbital vehicle in September 2022. During that uncrewed research mission, the reusable first-stage booster faced a major issue about 65 seconds after launch, resulting in it crashing back to Earth. Luckily, the capsule's emergency escape system kicked in, allowing it to land safely with parachutes and leaving the 36 research payloads unscathed.
