The 23rd New Shepard rocket mission was launched this morning. After the first ascent stage of the rocket was aborted, the abort process took over and the parachutes on the capsule floated back to earth.
This was not a crewed mission, so there was no one on board the capsule, which is the same vehicle that the company uses for its private spaceflight tourist missions. This is the first time that Blue Origin has had a problem with the New Shepard vehicle.
All Blue Origin has said is that there was an abnormality that resulted in the abort process.
Blue Origin says they are on the way, but the mission provides a unique test of Blue Origin's active escape system, which was responsible for the capsule's separation and landing.
