Blue Origin's New Glenn Set for First Launch by Year's End
TL;DR
Blue Origin is on track to launch its New Glenn rocket by the end of 2024, pending regulatory approval for a crucial "hot fire" test of its BE-4 engines. The successful launch of New Glenn is vital for Blue Origin's profitability and Jeff Bezos' vision of reducing space launch costs to move polluting industries into orbit. The rocket's first mission will test a payload for Blue Origin's Blue Ring orbital transfer vehicle, and it must complete two certification launches to carry national security payloads. The launch awaits FAA approval.
