LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Blue Origin's massive new rocket New Glenn completed a critical test on Monday, according to the company.

New Glenn's second stage successfully completed a risk reduction hotfire test, a milestone on its road to first flight, scheduled for launch in November, Blue Origin said in a release.

The hotfire lasted 15 seconds and marked the first time Blue Origin operated the vehicle as an integrated system.

The purpose of the hotfire test was to validate interactions between the subsystems on the second stage, its two engines, and the ground control systems, according to the company.
