🚀 Blue Origin Targets Late Spring for Second New Glenn Launch

Blue Origin is preparing for the second launch of its New Glenn rocket in late spring, after addressing a booster landing issue from its January 16 maiden flight. CEO Dave Limp revealed that a propulsion-related issue prevented a successful booster recovery but emphasized that the necessary modifications are not complex and won’t delay the timeline. A second booster is already in production, and the payload for the next flight remains undecided, with options ranging from commercial satellites to a mass simulator. Meanwhile, Blue Origin is advancing its Blue Moon lunar lander, with a Mark 1 version expected to reach the Moon this year. The company also hinted at Mars mission possibilities, leveraging its lunar tech for future interplanetary travel. Credit: Blue Origin
