New Glenn’s upper stage measures about 77 feet by 23 feet.

New Glenn’s upper stage poses a significant risk to locations between 36.11 degrees north and south latitude.

If New Glenn’s upper stage re-enters over land, largely intact pieces may be found that are as large as 5 feet or more in diameter.

New Glenn is grounded until the FAA determines that any system, process, or procedure related to the mishap does not affect public safety.

LegalValue 3.5Apr 20, 2026New Glenn Grounded and AST SpaceMobile Satellite Lost After Launch Anomaly

The BlueBird 7 mission was the third launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn vehicle.

PlanCapabilityValue 3.0Apr 20, 2026New Glenn Grounded and AST SpaceMobile Satellite Lost After Launch Anomaly

Blue Origin’s New Glenn reached the wrong orbit before the delivery of its first lunar landing system.

PlanValue 4.0Apr 20, 2026Following America's Artemis-2 Moon Mission Through China

GS1-7E03 was almost ready for its debut on New Glenn mission NG-4.

PlanValue 3.6Apr 19, 2026Really good to see GS1-7E02 back on Jacklyn again. Blue Origin needed this. With GS1-7E03 almost ready for its debut on NG-4, having 2 boosters in the fleet will hopefully allow Blue Origin to get a consistent cadence going where they can alternate between their boosters.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn 3 mission had a mission apogee of 460 km and a perigee of 460 km.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn carried AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 7 satellite from Launch Complex 36 (LC-36).

GeneralRelationshipsValue 4.0Apr 19, 2026RT by @GewoonLukas_: LIFTOFF! New Glenn clears the tower at LC-36, carrying @AST_SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 7 satellite.

The New Glenn booster used on NG-3 previously flew on the NG-2 mission in November 2025.
