New Shepard is a suborbital rocket. It reaches apogee (velocity drops to zero), and drops back to land propulsively.
It’s possible it experiences zero-G for more than just a few milliseconds at its apogee. Hence the 0mph velocity.
It’s possible it experiences zero-G for more than just a few milliseconds at its apogee. Hence the 0mph velocity.
The (approximately) zero-G period lasts for minutes, not milliseconds, and during that time, the velocity changes by 9.8 m/s (22 MPH) every second. The velocity should not pause at 0, or any other value.
Maybe we can compromise on 35 km/h per second though.
