Blue Origin\u2019s New Glenn safely reached its intended orbit during the NG-1 mission, accomplishing our primary objective. New Glenn\u2019s seven BE-4 engines ignited on January 16, 2025, at 2:03 a.m. EST (0703 UTC) from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.  <\/p>\n

The second stage is in its final orbit following two successful burns of the BE-3U engines. The Blue Ring Pathfinder is receiving data and performing well. We lost the booster during descent. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud New Glenn achieved orbit on its first attempt,\u201d<\/em> said Dave Limp, CEO, of Blue Origin<\/strong>. \u201cWe knew landing our booster, So You\u2019re Telling Me There\u2019s a Chance, on the first try was an ambitious goal. We\u2019ll learn a lot from today and try again at our next launch this spring. Thank you to all of Team Blue for this incredible milestone.\u201d  <\/em><\/p>\n

New Glenn is foundational to advancing our customers\u2019 critical missions as well as our own. The vehicle underpins our efforts to establish a sustained human presence on the Moon, harness in-space resources, provide multi-mission, multi-orbit mobility through the Blue Ring, and establish destinations in low Earth orbit. Future New Glenn missions will carry the Blue Moon Mark 1 cargo lander and the Mark 2 crewed lander to the Moon as part of NASA\u2019s Artemis program.  <\/p>\n

The program has several vehicles in production and multiple years of orders. Customers include NASA, Amazon\u2019s Project Kuiper, AST SpaceMobile, and several telecommunications providers. Blue Origin is certifying New Glenn with the U.S. Space Force for the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) program to meet emerging national security objectives. <\/p>\n

“Today marks a new era for Blue Origin and commercial space,”<\/em> said Jarrett Jones, Senior Vice President, New Glenn.<\/strong> “We’re focused on ramping our launch cadence and manufacturing rates. My heartfelt thanks to everyone at Blue Origin for the tremendous work in making today’s success possible, and to our customers and the space community for their continuous support. We felt that immensely today.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

The vehicle looks good for tonight\u2019s window, but we\u2019re watching the weather closely as clouds build over the Space Coast. If we cannot launch, we\u2019ll make an attempt on Friday, January 17, in the same 1-4 a.m. EST (0600-0900 UTC) window.<\/p>\n

9:07 p.m. EST \/ 02:07 UTC<\/p>\n

We\u2019re moving our NG-1 launch to no earlier than Thursday, January 16. The three-hour launch window opens at 1 a.m. EST (0600 UTC).<\/p>\n

6:50 p.m. EST \/ 23:50 UTC<\/p>\n

Our next launch attempt is no earlier than Tuesday, January 14. Our three-hour launch window remains the same, opening at 1 a.m. EST (0600 UTC). Tonight\u2019s poor weather forecast at LC-36 could result in missing this window. This morning\u2019s scrub was due to ice forming in a purge line on an auxiliary power unit that powers some of our hydraulic systems.<\/p>\n

3:09 a.m. EST \/ 08:09 UTC<\/p>\n

We\u2019re standing down on today\u2019s launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window. We\u2019re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt. <\/p>\n

January 12, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Glenn\u2019s inaugural mission is targeting January 13. Our three-hour launch window opens Monday at 1 a.m. EST (0600 UTC). <\/p>\n

Join us<\/strong> for the webcast hosted by Ariane Cornell and Denisse Aranda beginning an hour before launch<\/p>\n

Sea state conditions are still unfavorable for booster landing. We’re shifting our NG-1 launch date by one day to no earlier than January 13. Our three-hour window remains the same, opening Monday at 1 a.m. EST (0600 UTC). <\/p>\n

January 9, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re shifting our NG-1 launch date to no earlier than January 12, due to a high sea state in the Atlantic where we hope to land our booster. Our three-hour window remains the same, opening Sunday at 1 a.m. EST (0600 UTC).<\/p>\n
