Posted: Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 11:10 AM ET (1510 GMT)
Blue Origin conducted a static-fire test of its second New Glenn rocket Thursday night. The company ignited the seven BE-4 engines in the rocket’s first stage just before 10 pm EDT (0200 GMT Friday) on the pad at Cape Canaveral. The test, lasting 38 seconds, also simulated aspects of the booster’s landing burn to test interaction among propellant lines. The test is one of the final milestones before the rocket’s launch, scheduled for as soon as Nov. 9. It will carry NASA’s ESCAPADE Mars mission.
