Next New Glenn launch could mark another step toward reusable spaceflight

Blue Origin targets Sunday for the third launch of its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite to low-Earth orbit.
Following a successful hot fire test, the company's reusability strategy aims to lower costs by supporting 25 flights per booster, a milestone founder Jeff Bezos achieved in November.
Equipped with the booster "Never Tell Me the Odds," which successfully landed in November, the rocket features seven new BE-4 engines providing 3.85 million pounds of thrust.
Forecasters from the 45th Weather Squadron predict a 90% chance of good conditions for liftoff during a two-hour window opening at 6:45 a.m. EDT.
Supporting the company's efforts to compete with SpaceX, this mission advances Blue Origin's lunar ambitions by preparing the MK-1 lander for upcoming Artemis program flights.
