The company is also hoping for its first orbital rocket booster landing at sea with the very same mission; however, it doesn\u2019t seem 100% confident in its success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like any first launch, the stakes are lower than normal. Teams will be working on problems they\u2019ve likely never seen before, so delays are possible. Also, the rocket will be in a state it has never been in before either, so anything is possible \u2013 including failures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the payload bay will be a Blue Ring Pathfinder, a test instrument that could be used as a future satellite bus, space tug, or rideshare kick stage. Blue Origin is hoping that this will be another big business not just for the company but for New Glenn as it strives to compete against SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will hopefully be the first of a handful of New Glenn launches in 2025, the rest being more pathfinders, this time for the company\u2019s Blue Moon lunar lander, Amazon Kuiper satellites, and NASA\u2019s ESCAPADE mission to Mars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But first, the company has to get its rocket off the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21498"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21498\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
