Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Aims for Thursday Launch from Cape Canaveral for NG-1 Mission
Jan 14, 2025, 05:16 PM
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, founded by Jeff Bezos, faced multiple delays in its inaugural launch attempt from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The first attempt was scrubbed due to technical issues, with subsequent attempts postponed due to weather conditions. The latest scheduled launch window for New Glenn is set for the early hours of Thursday, January 16, 2025, with a three-hour window starting at 1 a.m. EST. The New Glenn rocket, standing at 320 feet and 32 stories tall, is named after astronaut John Glenn and aims to compete with SpaceX in the satellite launch market. It is designed to carry heavy payloads into orbit, with the NG-1 mission carrying the Blue Ring Pathfinder to a medium Earth orbit. The first stage of New Glenn is intended to land on a platform named Jacklyn in the Atlantic Ocean.
