Bio
NS-36 launched on October 8, 2025 aboard New Shepard, with Ostrovsky serving as Astronaut.
New Shepard launches vertically from West Texas, carries its autonomous crew above the atmosphere, and returns the capsule under parachutes while the lands separately under power. Vitalii Ostrovsky therefore has 1 completed spaceflight; backup, training, canceled, and future assignments are excluded from that total. The mission connected Ostrovsky's professional experience with direct work aboard a crewed spacecraft and a completed flight assignment. The flight converted that professional background into direct experience of launch, weightlessness, Earth viewing, , and recovery.
