This week, Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket hit a significant milestone by completing its first second-stage hot fire test. This validates interactions between subsystems and the engines.
The test, lasting 15 seconds, was crucial for allowing the launch operations team to practice launch procedures ahead of New Glenn's planned November launch.
Blue Origin aims to position New Glenn as a competitor to SpaceX in the space launch market, having thus far focused on suborbital flights with New Shepard.
Moving forward, New Glenn's inaugural mission will carry the new Blue Ring orbital platform into space, shifting from the originally planned mission with NASA.
