5 reasons why Blue Origin's New Glenn Mars launch was a big deal
New Glenn is the first orbital rocket developed by Blue Origin, which was founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos. The two-stage heavy lifter had just one flight under its belt before Thursday — a test mission that lifted off in January 2025, sending a prototype version of Blue Origin's Blue Ring spacecraft platform to orbit.
Blue Origin's New Glenn booster rocket successfully launched its second-ever trip into space on Thursday to deploy two NASA satellites bound for Mars.
Blue Origin says it is working with the government to secure additional launch opportunities for the upcoming New Glenn launch of a NASA Mars mission.
