#NASA is considering launching rockets to #Mars 🔴 next year. #SpaceX’s #Starship is not the only contender for the trip. #BlueOrigin’s #NewGlenn is already contracted to send two small #satellites 🛰️ to Mars https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/07/nasa-mars-rocket-launch-00331694
#US 🇺🇸 – #Italy 🇮🇹 cooperation for "two Mars Missions in 📆 2026 and 2028" https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/04/united-states-italy-joint-leaders-statement
🔥 Blue Origin a effectué hier un test statique de 15 secondes du second étage de #NewGlenn, le NG2.
Les performances du moteur BE-3 ont été accrues
🚀 Le prochain lancement #NewGlenn se prépare : le 2e étage est arrivé en Floride pour intégration

"We expect to return to flight in late spring and will attempt to land the booster again", the landing failure was "due to our three #BE4 engines not reigniting properly". https://gazette.com/news/us-world/blue-origin-targets-late-spring-for-next-new-glenn-launch-after-faa-probe/article_c5f9e31f-778d-570b-92be-8854d99ba52c.html

Jeff Bezos' #BlueOrigin space venture and its #NewGlenn rocket join #SpaceX and #UnitedLaunchAlliance on the latest #SpaceForce list for future national security launch contracts worth up to $13.7 billion. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/space-force-national-security-launch-blue-origin/
#Amazon is under time pressure ⏱️. The license issued by the US regulatory authorities for the operation of #satellite internet in 2020 requires half of the satellite network to be completed by 📆 July 2026. The rest must be in orbit by July 2029 ⏳. More than 30 additional launches are planned with other companies, such as #Arianespace and #BlueOrigin. Even the competitor #SpaceX is helping out https://www.heise.de/en/news/Amazon-launches-the-first-internet-satellites-for-Project-Kuiper-next-week-10338214.html
🚀 Blue Origin a publié son rapport sur l'échec de la tentative d'atterrissage du premier étage de #NewGlenn lors du vol inaugural du 16 janvier : Les 3 moteurs BE-4 ne se sont pas rallumés comme prévu.
Prochain vol annoncé pour "la fin du printemps"
“The euphemism among #BlueOrigin alumni is that Blue Origin’s track record speaks for itself”. The company has reached #orbit 🌌 only once, compared with #SpaceX achieving the feat more than 450 times https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/jeff-bezos-brings-amazon-work-culture-to-blue-origin

Blue Origin planning second New Glenn launch for late spring
Amazon Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin New Glenn maiden launch. Did a lot of research to get settings right, but camera settings were mostly guess using SpaceX as an information point. . The image bought was of the actual launch taken from the beach. I have two other captures before the launch available.

#SpaceX has developed two heavy lift rockets in the last decade, and #BlueOrigin just launched #NewGlenn. Each of these rockets is at least partially reusable ♻️ and flies at less than one-tenth 💵 the cost of the #SLS rocket 💰 https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/02/boeing-has-informed-its-employees-that-nasa-may-cancel-sls-contracts
@Powerfromspace1 sure ? "#BlueOrigin has started working on a project to develop a fully reusable upper stage for #NewGlenn" https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/07/blue-origin-is-developing-reusable-second-stage-other-advanced-projects. Shouldn't it be "where's a #delay, there's an #excuse" ? 🤔
#BlueOrigin 🐢 : "we're going to try to make the expendable upper stage so #cheap 💵 to manufacture that a reusable stage can never compete with it. And we're going to try to make the #reusable ♻️ stage so operable that an expendable stage can never compete with it."
Now is the time when the real movement, the kind of golden age of #space 🌌, is going to happen. The next big step is in situ resource ⚒️ development https://arstechnica.com/features/2025/01/after-the-success-of-new-glenn-blue-origin-to-focus-on-launching-frequently/
👨🏻🚀 Depuis l'ISS, l'astronaute Don Pettit a réussi à photographier le 16 janvier le 2e étage de #NewGlenn en phase de croisière. C'est le trait à l'arrière des traînées des étoiles, allant du coin inférieur droit vers le coin supérieur gauche, sur cette pause longue de 4 min
