New Glenn’s Inaugural Mission Reaches Orbit

Jan 16, 2025

 

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 fairing separates and the Blue Ring Pathfinder payload, which will remain affixed to the second stage throughout the duration of the mission, will be placed in a medium Earth orbit (MEO).
