H-2A launches reconnaissance satelite
Posted: Sat, Sep 28 6:58 AM ET (1058 GMT) Japan launched a reconnaissance satellite on the penultimate flight of the H-2A. The rocket lifted off at 12:41 am EDT (0441 GMT) Thursday from the Tanegashima Space Center after weather delayed a launch attempt last week. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries confirmed separation of the IGS-Radar 8 reconnaissance satellite from the launch vehicle in sun-synchronous orbit around two hours after launch. The launch was the 49th of the H-2A, with one more launch of that rocket planned for late this year carrying an Earth science satellite. The H-2A is being replaced by the H3 rocket, which made two successful launches earlier this year.

Blue Origin test-fires New Glenn upper stage
Posted: Sat, Sep 28 6:56 AM ET (1056 GMT) Blue Origin test-fired the upper stage of its first New Glenn rocket this week. The 15-second firing of the stage's two BE-3U engines, on the pad at Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 36, confirmed the integrated performance of the stage. The test was scheduled for earlier this month, and the delay appears to validate a NASA decision not to attempt a mid-October launch of the rocket carrying the ESCAPADE Mars mission. Blue Origin is instead pursuing a first launch of New Glenn in November carrying its own payload while ESCAPADE's launch has been pushed back to no earlier than next spring.
