Prototype New Shepard design

During 2006 the company built a prototype of their New Shepard design. The New Shepard is controlled entirely by on-board computers, without ground control. The fuselage is roughly conical, with a rounded base, and roughly bullet-shaped overall. It is powered by a cluster of nine engines powered by high test peroxide (HTP) and RP-1 kerosene, arranged in a 3 by 3 grid on the bottom. Four landing legs containing shock absorbers also extend from the edges of the bottom.
The first example, christened the Goddard, first flew on November 13, 2006. The flight was a complete success, and pictures and movies from the launch form a major part of the company's spartan web site. However, a second test flight filed for December 2nd never launched. Two successful flight tests have been recorded since then.
In an interview with Charlie Rose on November 19, 2007, Bezos reported that the construction of a second test vehicle was in progress and that a third development vehicle would be built after that before any commercial flights would begin
