New Glenn was successfully static fired last night in preparation for its maiden flight, now targeting early 2025. This vehicle is a behemoth, the largest and most powerful rocket fired at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station since Titan IV.

Can’t wait to see this monster spread its wings.

New Glenn, Blue Origin’s partially reusable heavy lift launch vehicle, will play a major role in launching Blue Moon - the company’s crew and cargo lander in support of Artemis. This is the final few steps before launch.
