Earlier, the launch was scheduled for January 10 and then January 12. The New Glenn rocket, which was being developed for almost a decade, has a reusable first stage like SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.
The 320-foot-tall rocket won't deploy any satellites during the mission. However, it's carrying a payload, which is a test version of Blue Origin's new ⁘Blue Ring⁘ spacecraft platform.
The company will make efforts to recover the rocket's first stage on Monday morning as the booster lands in the Atlantic Ocean on its Landing Platform Vessel 1. Called Jacklyn, the barge is nicknamed after the mother of Jeff Bezos, who is the founder of Blue Origin.
The payload for this mission is the Blue Ring Pathfinder. This spacecraft will test Blue Ring's core flight, ground systems, and operational capabilities as part of the Defense Innovation Unit's (DIU) Orbital Logistics prototype effort.
⁘Our key objective is to reach orbit safely. We know landing the booster on our first try offshore in the Atlantic is ambitious—but we're going for it,⁘ said the company in a statement.
Jarrett Jones, SVP, New Glenn, highlighted that this is New Glenn's first flight, and the team has prepared rigorously for it.
Reports revealed that New Glenn's two engines, optimized to function in the vacuum of space, should fire up and propel the vehicle to speeds necessary to enter orbit — typically around 17,500 miles per hour, or nearly 23 times the speed of sound.
A team of geophysicists at ETH Zurich in Switzerland has made a baffling discovery while analyzing earthquake waves to calculate the internal structures of the Earth. They found areas in our planet's interior that appear to be the leftovers of submerged tectonic plates deep below large oceans and far away from plate boundaries — nowhere near where scientists expected to find them. It's an intriguing finding that suggests a ⁘lost world⁘ may be lurking deep below the Pacific Ocean. But researchers
