New Glenn Mission NG-3 Webcast - YouTube Watch On Update for 7:44 am ET: Touchdown and launch success: Blue Origin has successfully launched (and landed) its New Glenn NG-3 booster. Liftoff occurred at 7:25 am ET (1125 GMT). We'll have launch and landing video, as well as updates from the launch, on this page shortly.Jeff Bezos' space company is about to take a giant leap toward reusable orbital rockets.Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket is poised to lift off for the third time ever today (April 19) — but for the first time with previously flown hardware. The mission, called NG-3, will deliver BlueBird 7, a direct-to-cellphone internet satellite, to low Earth orbit (LEO), flying the same first-stage booster core that launched NG-2, but with new engines.Liftoff for NG-3 is scheduled during a two-hour window that opens at 6:45 a.m. EDT (1045 GMT) on Sunday, from Launch Complex-36 (LC-36) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. You can watch it live via Blue Origin, starting 30 minutes before launch. Space.com will air the company's stream as well, if the company makes it available.If all goes according to plan, New Glenn's first stage will shut off its engines and separate from the upper part of the rocket about 3.5 minutes into flight, landing, hopefully, on Blue Origin's droneship, "Jacklyn," in the Atlantic Ocean around six minutes later.BlueBird 7 will be the second "Block 2" satellite in the internet constellation of Texas-based company AST SpaceMobile. Its predecessor, BlueBird 6, launched on an Indian LVM3 rocket last December. BlueBird 6 is one of the largest satellites in space, with an antenna that spans 2,400 square feet (223 square meters). BlueBird 7 has the same dimensions.BlueBirds 1-5, the "Block 1" version, while sizable in their own right, pale in comparison; their antennas cover a more modest 693 square feet (64.4 m) apiece.Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket launches, skywatching events and more!

Such a capability would allow the company to compete with SpaceX's Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and Starship rockets, the only orbital-capable boosters to date with proven reusability.New Glenn stands 322 feet (98 meters) tall — about the same size as the NASA Space Launch System (SLS) ro...
