Bezos Blue Origin Prepares for New Glenn Launch
ai generated text
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket is scheduled to make its inaugural launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with a live stream set to begin about an hour before liftoff. The rocket, named after astronaut John Glenn, stands at approximately 320 feet tall and is designed to be capable of carrying satellites to space.
We have spent years designing this rocket, we have spent months and months designing this mission... if we need a couple more minutes especially on this first launch, that is a-OK.
For the moment we have decided to put more time on the clock which means that we still have a chance, still have the opportunity to launch this evening.
SpaceX has for the past several years been pretty much the only game in town, and so having a competitor... this is great.
First is that none of the constellation (operators) went to small rockets. They all went to the medium- or heavy-lift because getting more up in a single mission is faster and more economical than doing this one or two satellites at a time. And then the second is those satellites themselves got bigger.
They are postured so that they can come in and try to fill this role of being the next great, reliable launch provider for the industry.
