Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Prepares for Maiden Launch
Blue Origin has positioned its first flight-ready New Glenn rocket at Launch Complex 36 for final testing, marking a significant step towards its inaugural launch. The company plans a static fire test but has not set a specific date. Originally intended to carry NASA's EscaPADE satellites, the mission will now launch Blue Origin's Blue Ring technology due to delays. Meanwhile, Blue Origin successfully completed its ninth suborbital mission with New Shepard, sending six crew members, including Emily Calandrelli, into space.
