New Glenn

Blue Origin’s New Glenn launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on April 19 for its third flight.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn booster named Never Tell Me The Odds previously flew on NG-2 in November and landed on the company’s ship Jacklyn in the Atlantic.

The Blue Origin New Glenn variant is grounded pending a post-launch review.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn upper stage failed to deploy AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird #7 into its intended orbit.

Quilty Space estimated that New Glenn is unlikely to fly for three to six months while Blue Origin performs root cause analysis and remediation.

The Federal Aviation Administration ordered an investigation into the failed New Glenn launch.

Deutsche Bank estimated that most of AST SpaceMobile’s roughly 45 planned satellites are intended to launch on New Glenn.

Blue Origin successfully reused a New Glenn first-stage booster for the first time on the NG-3 mission.

One of New Glenn’s two BE-3U hydrogen-fueled upper-stage engines failed to produce sufficient thrust to reach the target insertion orbit.

Blue Origin will lead the New Glenn mishap investigation with FAA oversight.

Blue Origin’s third New Glenn mission launched on April 19, 2026 from Cape Canaveral.

The FAA has classified the New Glenn upper-stage failure as a mishap.

New Glenn cannot return to flight until the FAA approves the investigation findings.

A thrust anomaly during New Glenn’s second-stage GS2 burn caused the loss of AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 7 satellite.

The FAA has grounded New Glenn pending a formal investigation.

The New Glenn upper stage likely performed about half of its burn and was likely in a roughly 200 x 470 km orbit with a 43.0-degree inclination.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn first stage is named "Never Tell Me The Odds."
