Thermal analyses, checks on cryogenic tanks, and avionics system tests are also conducted during the New Glenn refurbishment phase.
On November 20, 2025, Dave Limp, CEO of Blue Origin, announced via tweet that the booster for the second New Glenn flight has returned to launch pad LC-36 to start the New Glenn refurbishment phase.
The New Glenn 9x4 can place more than 70 tons in low Earth orbit (LEO) and over 20 tons on a translunar injection trajectory.
The new phase of the New Glenn refurbishment prepares Blue Origin to plan the third launch of the vehicle.
Improvements will be made to increase thrust in the New Glenn 7x2 engines, enhancing payload performance and launch frequency.
The New Glenn 9x4 will feature a reusable fairing to increase flight frequency.
The New Glenn 9x4 will have a payload fairing diameter of 8.7 meters, compared to the 7-meter fairing of the New Glenn 7x2.
Blue Origin did not disclose timelines for the development of the New Glenn 9x4.
The New Glenn 9x4 is designed for missions requiring greater capacity and performance.
The New Glenn refurbishment process is crucial to demonstrate the vehicle's ability to operate under a reusable model, which is key to reducing space access costs and increasing launch frequency.
The New Glenn refurbishment phase includes operations to verify the structural integrity of the booster after the flight, analyze the performance of the BE-4 engines, and inspect aerodynamic surfaces.
The New Glenn 9x4 will feature nine BE-4 engines in its first stage and four BE-3U engines in its second stage.
The current second-generation New Glenn rockets can transport 45 tons in LEO and more than 13 tons to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO).
Blue Origin announced the creation of the New Glenn 9x4 super heavy rocket.
The New Glenn 9x4 will include a new low-cost tank design and a more efficient reusable thermal protection system.
Blue Origin is enhancing its New Glenn rocket, which is 98 meters long.
Blue Origin is implementing updates to reduce the time it takes to prepare New Glenn for its next mission, including a reusable fairing, lower-cost tank, and enhanced thermal protection.
The enhancements to New Glenn will cover propulsion systems, structures, avionics, reusability, and recovery operations.
A future ultra-large version called New Glenn 9×4 is planned to have nine BE-4 engines on the first stage and four on the second stage.
The upgraded second stage of New Glenn will increase its thrust from 320,000 pounds (approximately 1,423 kilonewtons) to 400,000 pounds (approximately 1,779 kilonewtons).
