蓝色起源再推迟新格伦火箭首次发射日期,至1月16日

Blue Origin has delayed the first launch date of the new Glenn rocket to January 16.

Global market report. ·  Jan 14 07:45

Jeff Bezos's rocket company Blue Origin has postponed the launch time of the New Glenn rocket from Tuesday, January 14, to Thursday, January 16, further delaying the company's attempt to enter orbit and compete in the satellite launch market with SpaceX.

After encountering technical issues before takeoff, the company canceled the first scheduled launch on Monday.

In a post on X, Blue Origin stated that the launch window will open for three hours at 1 AM Eastern Time on Thursday (2 PM Beijing Time on Thursday).

The development of the New Glenn has gone through three CEOs of Blue Origin and faced multiple delays, during which Elon Musk's SpaceX has grown into an industry giant with its reusable Falcon 9 rocket, the world's most active rocket.

The New Glenn rocket has more than twice the power of the Falcon 9 rocket, with dozens of customers signed launch contracts worth billions of dollars.

The rocket aims to land the first stage booster of New Glenn on a marine fairing barge in the Atlantic 10 minutes after liftoff, while the second stage of the rocket continues into orbit.

"Our biggest concern is the booster landing," Bezos said in an interview before the launch on Sunday. "Clearly, during the first flight, anomalies can occur at any stage of the mission, so anything can happen."
