• The vehicle ascended to about 100 to 105 kilometers above Earth, crossing the internationally recognized boundary of space before the capsule separated.
• Passengers experienced several minutes of weightlessness and panoramic views of Earth’s curvature before parachuting to a safe desert touchdown.
