Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Grounded After Upper Stage Failure Loses Satellite Payload
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket successfully landed its reusable booster on a drone ship during the NG-3 mission, marking the first reuse of a flown booster. However, the upper stage failed to place the AST SpaceMobile BlueBird 7 satellite in the correct orbit, placing it too low for operations. The FAA has grounded New Glenn pending investigation, with Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp acknowledging the BE-3U engine didn't produce sufficient thrust. This marks the first major failure for the program since its inaugural flight in January 2025.
