This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
Now that we have a more complete view, we wanted to provide an update on our NG-3 mission. While we are pleased with the nominal booster recovery, we clearly didn't deliver the mission our customer wanted, and our team expects. Early data suggest that on our second GS2 burn, one of the BE-3U engines didn’t produce sufficient thrust to reach our target orbit. Blue Origin is leading the anomaly investigation with FAA oversight to learn from the data and implement the improvements needed to quickly return to flight operations. We have been in steady communication with the team at AST SpaceMobile, we appreciate their partnership, and we’re looking forward to many flights together.
🚀 Launch Alert | We're targeting New Glenn's third launch no earlier than Sunday, April 19, 2026, from LC-36. The two-hour launch window opens at 6:45 a.m. / 10:45 UTC. NG-3 will send @AST_SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite to low Earth orbit. Learn more: bit.ly/4vzPF0B
Somehow still relevant, one year later!
"Never Tell Me The Odds" is back. Team Blue inspected every system, completed refurbishment, and certified it for flight. Proud to put a flight-proven booster to work for @AST_SpaceMobile on NG-3. Enjoy this fun video of us moving the integrated vehicle to the Transporter Erector (TE).

@NASA_Orion This @imycomic has meaning to me because the experience shuttle employees are training us younger folk
