Blue Origin's 98-Meter New Glenn Rocket Set for Uncrewed Maiden Flight from Cape Canaveral on January 8
Jan 5, 2025, 11:40 AM
Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos, is set to launch its New Glenn rocket for the first time, aiming to challenge SpaceX's dominance in the space industry. The rocket, standing at approximately 98 meters tall, is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This maiden flight, which will be uncrewed, is a significant step for Blue Origin as it seeks to enter the market for launching heavy commercial and military satellites, as well as missions to the Moon and Mars. The New Glenn rocket is designed to be partially reusable, with plans to recover and reuse its first-stage booster, similar to SpaceX's approach. The launch window for this inaugural flight is set for January 8, with a backup date on January 10.
