In the timespan of about 24 hours, we just got more information on New Glenn and its first launch than practically the entirety of this rocket’s program. Right now New Glenn hardware is vertical on the launchpad including its booster which has been confirmed as flight hardware. This comes in addition to new info on its landing barge, maiden flight profile, plans to launch twice this year, and much more. Here I will go more in-depth into the recent rollout, all the new insights, what to expect in the coming months, and more.

New Glenn’s reusable first stage aims for a minimum of 25 missions and will land on a sea-based platform located roughly 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) downrange. Why is reusability so important? It reduces waste and radically lowers cost per launch to increase access to space.
planned was autumn 2019...Any update as to when the first launch of the New Glenn is?
Excited to team with SERA, the Space Exploration & Research Agency, to support such an inspiring initiative that makes space more accessible to so many countries! We’re looking forward to flying these future astronauts on #NewShepard and hearing their perspectives about the wonders of space.
SERA is excited to announce a partnership with
@BlueOrigin to develop a human space flight program for citizens of nations who have historically lacked access to space. Our first mission has reserved all six seats on a New Shepard flight.
