Debuting from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral, Florida in 2021, New Glenn will serve commercial, civil and national security customers from around the world. Featuring a 7 meter fairing with more than 2X the available volume of any rocket flying today and twin BE-3U engines powering the most capable upper stage in the market, New Glenn can launch the full range of satellite payloads. Seven reusable BE-4 engines generating 3.85 million pounds of thrust power the first stage designed to launch 25 times and land safely down range on a moving ship. New Glenn is beginning to take shape at our state-of-the-art rocket factory. Visit us at www.blueorigin.com to learn more.
New Glenn lifts off from Launch Complex 36. Following separation, the first stage autonomously descends to a landing platform located several hundred miles downrange in the Atlantic. The two BE-3Us ignite, propelling the second stage into space.
The launch of Blue Origin’s first New Glenn launch vehicle (NG-1) was aborted from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, on 13 January 2025, in order to “to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue”.
The first Blue Origin New Glenn launch vehicle (NG-1) was launched from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, on 16 January 2025, at 07:03 UTC (02:03 EST). New Glenn’s first stage attempted to land on the Landing Platform Vessel 1 “Jacklyn” in the Atlantic Ocean. New Glenn’s second stage transported into orbit the Blue Ring Pathfinder, demonstrator that “includes a communications array, power systems, and a flight computer affixed to a secondary payload adapter ring”.
Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp sits down with Tabitha Lipkin to discuss New Glenn's role in achieving the company’s vision of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth.
The second Blue Origin New Glenn launch vehicle (NG-2) launched NASA’s ESCAPADE twin spacecraft to Mars, from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, on 13 November 2025, at 20:55 UTC (15:55 EST). New Glenn’s first stage landed on the Landing Platform Vessel 1 “Jacklyn” in the Atlantic Ocean. NASA’s Escape and Plasma Acceleration Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) will use two identical spacecraft to investigate how the solar wind interacts with Mars’ magnetic environment and how this interaction drives the planet’s atmospheric escape.
NASA’s ESCAPADE twin spacecraft were successfully deployed into orbit after being launched by the second Blue Origin New Glenn launch vehicle (NG-2) from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, on 13 November 2025, at 20:55 UTC (15:55 EST)
