Amazon Leo’s initial New Glenn missions will carry 48 satellites per launch.
The ULA Vulcan, Arianespace Ariane 6, and Blue Origin New Glenn heavy-lift rockets faced development delays as of early 2026.
Amazon originally booked 77 launches with United Launch Alliance (Vulcan), Arianespace (Ariane 6), and Blue Origin (New Glenn).
New Glenn GS2 boosters were present on the Space Coast during this period.
New Glenn GS2 serial number five underwent a hot fire test in which its BE-3U engines ramped up to 175,000 pounds of thrust.
NASA determined that using the New Glenn upper stage would require extensive modifications to the stage itself and to NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems.
NASA considered Blue Origin’s New Glenn upper stage for evaluation.
Required modifications would include shortening the New Glenn upper stage to satisfy height requirements.
AST SpaceMobile plans to launch Block 2 BlueBird satellites in tranches of eight aboard Blue Origin’s New Glenn-3 rocket.
The first deployment of TeraWave satellites is scheduled for Q4 2027 aboard a New Glenn 9×4 rocket.
The New Glenn "9×4" variant is designed to address the mass penalty associated with a potentially reusable second stage that involves ceramic-based thermal protection systems and metallic "BlueTPS" solutions developed in partnership with NASA.
The New Glenn "9×4" configuration increases the first-stage engine count from seven to nine BE-4 liquid oxygen/liquified natural gas engines.
Blue Origin is advancing a "9×4" super-heavy lift configuration of the New Glenn rocket alongside its TeraWave satellite network.
The NG-2 mission achieved the first successful sea landing of a New Glenn booster on the vessel Jacklyn.
Amazon Leo expanded its launch manifest to include 10 additional SpaceX Falcon 9 launches and 12 Blue Origin New Glenn missions to mitigate previous launch delays.
AST SpaceMobile encapsulated its BlueBird 7 (BB7) satellite within the payload fairing of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket on February 19, 2026.
Amazon Leo expanded its launch manifest to include 10 additional SpaceX Falcon 9 launches and 12 Blue Origin New Glenn missions to mitigate previous launch delays.
The mission is designated New Glenn-3 (NG-3) and will depart from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The New Glenn seven-meter fairing capacity allows AST SpaceMobile to potentially launch up to eight Block 2 satellites per mission in the future.
Blue Origin’s New Glenn seven-meter fairing provides twice the payload volume of standard five-meter commercial fairings.
