#BlueOrigin will use their Lunar #Transporter for in-space 🌌 cryogenic propellant ⛽ transfer. The Utility Transfer Mechanism was recently tested inside the TS300 thermal vacuum chamber at #NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. The Lunar Transporter will use similar propellant tanks to those flown on the company’s #NewGlenn rocket, and seven #BE7 engines as its main propulsion system https://spaceflightnow.com/2025/10/28/blue-origin-details-lunar-exploration-progress-amid-artemis-3-contract-shakeup/
#NewGlenn
Both companies’ plans rely on the availability of an orbital propellant ⛽ depot, which would fuel up their vehicles on the way to the #moon 🌙. The biggest test will be the orbital propellant transfer demonstration https://www.astronomy.com/space-exploration/spacex-blue-origin-share-new-lunar-landing-profiles/
A single #NewGlenn rocket will be able to send the #BlueMoon lander to the Lunar #Gateway. But the lander won’t have enough #propellant to make a powered descent to the lunar surface https://hackaday.com/2023/12/07/artemis-next-giant-leap-orbital-refueling/
#BlueOrigin will send an uncrewed Blue Moon Mark 1 (#Mk1) lander to the #moon 🌙 no earlier than 📆 January, 2026 https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/7189/
#NewGlenn 9x4 carries over 70 metric tons to low-Earth orbit, over 14 metric tons direct to geosynchronous orbit, and over 20 metric tons to trans-lunar injection https://www.blueorigin.com/news/new-glenn-upgraded-engines-subcooled-components-drive-enhanced-performance
The #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn 9x4 rocket will be capable of launching 🚀 how many tons to trans-lunar 🌙 injection (at less than one-tenth of the #SLS cost) ?
@categulario .. y ahí, calladitos, sin hacer tanto show mediático, el #NewGlenn de #BlueOrigin está dejando con el ojo cuadrado a varios.

Weekly output: AT&T 5G, Meta breakup bid blocked, Mozilla Foundation, social-media usage, Starship and New Glenn
I spent much of the only week in November not disrupted by my own travel schedule catching up on things from the previous two weeks. As you can see from the list below, that was an incomplete exercise.
(Speaking of previous weeks, I also wrote a post for Patreon supporters recapping my experience at Web Summit in Lisbon.)
11/17/2025: AT&T Boosts 5G Speed and Capacity With EchoStar Spectrum, PCMag
Having written in September about Boost Mobile’s plans to sell this spectrum to AT&T, I felt obliged to cover AT&T putting those frequencies into service sooner than I would have imagined possible.
11/19/2025: Court Rejects FTC’s Bid to Break Up Meta, Finds It’s Not a Social Media Monopoly, PCMag
I didn’t span on spending a large chunk of Tuesday afternoon reading a judge’s opinion about the Federal Trade Commission’s attempt to order Meta to undo its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. I also didn’t expect to find the judge’s analysis of Facebook so relatable.
11/20/2025: With Its Next Big Thing, Mozilla Wants to Do More Than Improve the Web, PCMag
The interview at the center of this post happened two weeks earlier, so I appreciated the Mozilla Foundation providing some details about early proposals received since then for its AI-for-democracy funding program.
11/20/2025: Among Social Media Users, Reddit Soars As X Stagnates, PCMag
Thursday had no work items on my calendar, so I could cover this new report from the Pew Research Center about which social platforms have earned time on the schedules of Americans.
11/21/2025: SpaceX’s Starship Suffers Major Test Mishap a Day After Blue Origin Unveils Rocket Upgrade Plans, PCMag
I was going to spent Friday writing a post about an information-security conference I attended Tuesday, but then SpaceX had the booster stage of its Starship rocket fail catastrophically in a ground test a day after that company’s increasingly-capable rival Blue Origin outlined some ambitious upgrades to its own New Glenn launch vehicle.

Blue Origin annonce une super-version « 9×4 » de sa New Glenn : 9 moteurs, plus de 70 t en orbite basse. https://air-cosmos.com/article/blue-origin-devoile-la-version-lourde-de-la-new-glenn-70689 #Space #Innovation #Aérospatiale #NewGlenn #BlueOrigin
Oggi, a #LineaRadioSavona con GianFunk siamo andati a Cape Canaveral a curiosare nei segreti del #newglenn, il razzo di #BlueOrigin che è riuscito ad atterrare sulla chiatta #Jacklyn il 13 #novembre!
Grazie a chi ha ascoltato, buon sabato!🙏👋🚀

Blue Origin ha presentado su nuevo lanzador pesado, el New Glenn 9×4, poco después de haber recuperado con éxito la primera etapa de su predecesor, el New Glenn 7×2. Este nuevo cohete lleva la capacidad de carga al siguiente nivel, siendo capaz de colocar 70 toneladas en órbita baja (LEO), 14 tonela... [Ver más]
Blue Origin vừa ra mắt New Glenn 9×4, tên lửa lớn hơn với 9 động cơ ở tầng một và 4 ở tầng hai. Đây là bước tiến quan trọng để cạnh tranh với SpaceX, mang đến nhiều lựa chọn hơn cho việc đưa vệ tinh vào quỹ đạo. Cuộc đua không gian đang trở nên hấp dẫn hơn bao giờ hết! #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn #SpaceX #SpaceRace https://ift.tt/4qiTZd7
