Dec 27, 2024, 08:26 PM
Blue Origin has been granted a commercial space launch license by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its New Glenn rocket under Part 450, marking a significant step towards its inaugural launch. The license authorizes Blue Origin to conduct orbital missions from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with the reusable first stage landing on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean. The license is valid for five years. Blue Origin is also preparing for a static fire test of the New Glenn rocket, which is crucial for the rocket's readiness for launch. The company has been conducting tanking tests at Launch Complex 36, with the static fire test involving the ignition of all seven BE-4 engines on the rocket's first stage.
