Astro Hawk (Ian Kluft) ✅🚀🛰️"Blue Origin postpones first launch of New Glenn rocket due to high seas for landing" by GeekWire / @alanboyle - First launch attempt for #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn rocket🚀 postponed from Friday to Sunday due to bad weather forecast for booster landing. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/blue-origin-reschedules-first-launch-new-glenn-rocket/ #NewSpace #space #business #spacegeek
#NewGlenn🚀 launch has engineering risks. Most first flights of a new rocket fail. That's a realistic expectation for #BlueOrigin's first attempt at an orbital launch and booster landing. Some risks are mitigated by BO experience with vertical-landing rockets on suborbital #space flights. Also the BE-4 rocket engines have already been successfully flight tested on ULA Vulcan. But there's added risk jumping from suborbital to heavy-lift orbital in one step. #NewSpace #business #spacegeek
"Heading for orbit at last: Track Blue Origin’s countdown to New Glenn rocket’s first launch" by GeekWire / @alanboyle - Maiden launch of #BlueOrigin's #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 scheduled Sunday 1am US/Eastern (Saturday 10pm US/Pacific for West Coast viewers and BO HQ in Seattle area). https://www.geekwire.com/2025/blue-origin-new-glenn-first-launch-orbit/ #NewSpace #business #spacegeek
Multiple delays in the #BlueOrigin's #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 launch, now appears to be 01:51 EST / 22:52 PST. https://go4liftoff.com/launch/new-glenn-maiden-flight?returnURL=%2Flaunches%3Fitem_count%3D20%26upcoming%3Dtrue%26tbd%3Dtrue #NewSpace #business #spacegeek
After multiple rolling delays, #BlueOrigin's #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 launch is scrubbed. New launch attempt date TBD. #NewSpace #business #spacegeek
"An icy vent line may have caused Blue Origin to scrub debut launch of New Glenn" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 launch webcast offered no technical details for the postponement. Reporter Eric Berger's sources say it was ice blocking a vent line, a common problem with cryogenic (super cold) rocket propellants. Winter weather at sea for booster landing attempt may prolong delays in the next launch attempt. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/01/an-icy-vent-line-may-have-caused-blue-origin-to-scrub-debut-launch-of-new-glenn/ #NewSpace #business #spacegeek
"Blue Origin reschedules orbital debut of New Glenn rocket, then re-reschedules it" by GeekWire / @alanboyle - #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 now planned for Thu Jan 16 at 0100 ET (Wed Jan 15 2200 PT). Still no technical details offered in public statements. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/blue-origin-turnaround-new-glenn-rocket/ #NewSpace #business #spacegeek
Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning could be exciting with #SpaceX #Starship🚀 flight test 7 and #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 currently scheduled 8 hours apart. However, engineering flight tests are not conducted for spectators. It's realistic to set expectations for possible delays. https://go4liftoff.com/launches?item_count=20&upcoming=true&tbd=true #NewSpace #business #spacegeek
2nd stage climbing toward orbit. 1st stage re-entering for attempted landing. #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 #NewSpace #spacegeek
Booster data feed frozen on descent for attempted landing. #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 #NewSpace #spacegeek
2nd stage continues climbing toward orbit, which is the primary goal of this mission. #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 #NewSpace #spacegeek
"GS2 is now orbital". Second stage engine cutoff. Primary objective successful! #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 #NewSpace #spacegeek
Webcast says 1st stage booster was lost during landing burn near the landing ship. They promise more details. But expect the mood to be of celebration with success of 2nd stage reaching orbit. #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 #NewSpace #spacegeek
"Getting to orbit is hard. And we did it on our first go." True. They've earned the celebration we're seeing now. New Glenn is about 90% the size of a Saturn V, to point out how big this is. I noticed the shape of the shock diamonds in the rocket thrust looked like consistent stable combustion. Well done! #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 #NewSpace #spacegeek
"Blue Origin reaches orbit on first flight of its titanic New Glenn rocket" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - Excellent first flight of the new heavy-lift rocket achieved it's primary goal of reaching orbit. The booster landing attempt should be viewed as good that they tried and got data from the attempt. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/01/blue-origin-reaches-orbit-on-first-flight-of-its-titanic-new-glenn-rocket/ #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn🚀 #NG1 #NewSpace #space #business #spacegeek
