FAA grounds Blue Origin's New Glenn after payload ends up in unintended orbit
The FAA has grounded Blue Origin’s New Glenn after its second stage placed AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 7 satellite into a lower-than-planned orbit; the booster landed safely, but the satellite cannot operate and will be de-orbited. Authorities have offered few details, Space Force data is inconclusive about what’s in orbit, and a return-to-flight timeline has not been provided.
