Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, having undergone nearly 13 years of development, is set to target its inaugural launch on January 13 after weather delays.
The $2.5 billion reusable New Glenn is essential for Blue Origin's competition for Department of Defense contracts, embodying cutting-edge technology, including a first stage designed for 25 flights.
With a height of over 320 ft, New Glenn can transport over 45 metric tons to LEO, positioning itself competitively against SpaceX's Falcon Heavy.
Its maiden mission will test Blue Ring Pathfinder, which is designed to facilitate satellite transport and operational functionalities critical for future space endeavors.
