This booster made eight successful flights between 2017 and 2022. It was only qualified to fly cargo, and not passengers. New Shepard 3 booster was destroyed during the NS-23 mission once it impacted the ground on 12 September 2022 after a booster engine anomaly led to the activation of the in-flight abort system. The capsule made a successful landing under parachutes.
