Blue Origin Prepares New Glenn Rocket for Inaugural Launch

Blue Origin is preparing for the maiden flight of its New Glenn rocket, having recently stacked its two stages at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The rocket, featuring a reusable first-stage booster, is set to launch in November from Cape Canaveral, carrying the Blue Ring spacecraft on a National Security Space Launch mission. The New Glenn stands taller than SpaceX's Falcon 9 and is designed to support both commercial and government missions. A static hot fire test of its BE-4 engines is the next step in its development.
