Blue Origin signs OneWeb as second customer for New Glenn reusable rocket by Caleb Henry — March 8, 2017 Jeff Bezos speaking March 7 at Satellite 2017 in Washington. Blue Origin’s chart shows a lineup of past, present and future rockets, ranging from Orbital ATK’s Antares to the New Glenn configurations and the Saturn 5 moon rocket. All the learnings from the New Shepard program are being flowed into New Glenn development as we scale up our capabilities to serve the orbital market. These next-generation launch vehicles are powered by our family of high-performance, reusable rocket engines. D’après ce qu’on sait du projet Blue Moon, la New Glenn sera aussi capable d’emporter quelques tonnes de charge utile à destination de la Lune. Fully Reusable The New Shepard system is a fully reusable, vertical takeoff, vertical landing (VTVL) space vehicle. While New Glenn remains under development, Blue Origin's other rocket — New Shepard — has a nearly perfect streak so far across a dozen flights. These next-generation launch vehicles are powered by our family of high-performance, reusable rocket engines. The launcher has the same name as the first American astronaut who reached Earth’s orbit, John Glenn. Blue Origin New Glenn vs. SpaceX Starship: Launch Date SpaceX is making big progress with the Starship. BE-4, the world’s most powerful liquid oxygen / liquefied natural gas engine, will enable New Glenn to launch payloads over 13 metric tons to geostationary transfer orbit and 45 metric tons to low Earth orbit beginning in 2021. Aerospace company Blue Origin has finished building its mission control center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, where engineers will monitor launches of the company’s future New Glenn rocket. La première fusée orbitale de Blue Origin sera équipée d’une très grande coiffe, ce qui devrait multiplier les possibilités pour les charges utiles. It fired the miniaturized “hopper” at the Boca Chica test facility in Texas back in April. Some details of the space rocket continue to evolve. New Glenn, our orbital launch vehicle, is designed for operational reusability from the beginning. New Glenn's heavy lift capabilities will bring people and payloads to orbit. Blue Origin is opening the promise of space to all. New Glenn will fly to low orbit and beyond – News from February 3, 2019 – In 2016, Blue Origin unveiled its first orbital rocket. Earth, in all its beauty, is just our starting place. En terme de capacité, la New Glenn se situe donc entre la Falcon 9 et la Falcon Heavy. "Telesat et Blue Origin ont signé un accord de lancements multiples, ouvrant la voie à la puissante fusée New Glenn, qui jouera un rôle clé dans le déploiement par Telesat de sa constellation mondiale de satellites LEO censée offrir des services à large bande de type fibre optique partout sur Terre."
