Blue Origin prepares New Glenn for first launch
Posted: Sat, Jan 4, 2025, 8:34 AM ET (1334 GMT)
Blue Origin completed the final major milestones Dec. 27 ahead of the first launch of its New Glenn rocket. The company performed a 24-second static fire of the seven BE-4 engines in the first stage of the rocket that night at the end of a fueling test and countdown rehearsal at Cape Canaveral. That test took place hours after Blue Origin received an FAA launch license for New Glenn. With the successful static-fire test and license, the company says it is ready for the first launch of the rocket, which may take place as soon as the night of Jan. 5.
