Blue Origin scored a major win with its New Glenn rocket launch, but SpaceX still leads the space industry with a Falcon fleet and upcoming Starship.

Privately owned Blue Origin has achieved its goal—a decade in the making—of becoming an orbital launch player, even as it failed to recover its first-stage booster in the ambitious inaugural flight of its New Glenn rocket on its NG-1 mission.

Blue Origin will launch its first-ever New Glenn rocket on Jan. 10. Here's what time it will fly and where to look to watch it.

Jeff Bezos' humongous reusable rocket, New Glenn, made its way to orbit in its first test flight earlier today.

Blue Origin on Monday revealed plans for the inaugural launch of its New Glenn rocket from Florida’s Space Coast.

Shrugging off bad weather, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launched its powerful New Glenn rocket on its maiden flight early Thursday, lighting up a cloudy overnight sky as it climbed away from Cape Canaveral in a high-stakes bid to compete with Elon Musk's industry-leading SpaceX.

After numerous delays and a last-minute scrub on Monday, Blue Origin finally launched the inaugural flight of its massive New Glenn rocket.

New Glenn safely reached its intended orbit during today's NG-1 mission, accomplishing our primary objective. The second stage is in its final orbit following

Once in orbit, the upper stage released the Blue Ring Pathfinder: a small prototype spacecraft designed to host and transport satellites between orbits, refuel visiting spacecraft, and perform computing and communications from space. According to Blue Origin, Blue Ring is “receiving data and performing well.”

Jeff Bezos' company Blue Origin launched its New Glenn mega-rocket for the first time. The milestone is a leap for reusable rocketry.

Founded 25 years ago by Bezos, Blue Origin has been launching paying passengers to the edge of space since 2021, including himself. The short hops from Texas use smaller rockets named after the first American in space, Alan Shepard. New Glenn, which honors John Glenn, is five times taller.
