Blue Origin NS-37 is an upcoming sub-orbital spaceflight to be operated by Blue Origin as part of its New Shepard space tourism program. The mission is scheduled to launch from Launch Site One in West Texas on December 18, 2025, with the exact liftoff time determined by the launch window.

The flight is expected to last approximately 10–12 minutes, carrying six passengers to an apogee above the Kármán line, the internationally recognized boundary of space.
The crew includes aerospace engineer Michaela Benthaus, who has used a wheelchair since suffering a spinal cord injury in a 2018 mountain-biking accident, physicist Joey Hyde, aerospace engineer Hans Koenigsmann, business executive Neal Milch, entrepreneur Adonis Pouroulis, and space enthusiast Jason Stansell.
