About the Maiden Flight Mission
- Type: Test Flight
- Orbit: Medium Earth Orbit
Maiden flight of the New Glenn launch vehicle. Will carry the prototype Blue Ring payload tug and payload hoisting platform, consisting of communications array, power systems, and a flight computer affixed to a secondary payload adapter ring, remaining attached to the 2nd stage. This launch will serve as New Glenn's first National Security Space Launch certification flight.
Target orbit is 2400 x 19300 km at 30° inclination.
Launch Pad & Location
Launch Complex 36A
Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
The Launch Complex 36A launch pad has hosted 71 rocket launches, including 71 orbital launch attempts. The Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA launch site has been the location for 1111 total rocket launches.
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) is an installation of the United States Space Force's Space Launch Delta 45, located on Cape Canaveral in Brevard County, Florida.
Blue Origin New Glenn Rocket
The New Glenn is a privately funded orbital launch vehicle in development by Blue Origin. New Glenn is described as a 7-meter-diameter (23 ft), two- or three-stage rocket.
Booster Landing & Recovery
Core GS1-SN001
The New Glenn first stage booster was lost on its first flight during descent towards LPV1 Jacklyn. Reusable booster GS1-SN001 last flew on 01/16/2025 and has completed 0 successful launch and landing missions. First New Glenn first stage booster. Named "So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance". Lost on its first flight during descent towards LPV1 Jacklyn.
Jacklyn - LPV1
Jacklyn is Blue Origins first floating landing platform for New Glenn.
Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship - ASDS
An autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory.
About Blue Origin
