However, NASA has postponed that mission until spring 2025 due to funding and technical issues. As a result, New Glenn’s first flight in November will carry the company’s own technologies.

blue originwas preparing New Glenn for launch in October. However, major failures in rocket tests revealed the difficulty of this goal. According to Bloomberg, New Glenn’s October launch would allow the spacecraft to reach Mars orbit in September 2025. New launch date, It made it unclear how long it would take to reach Mars.

New Glenn’s first mission will be an NSSL certification flight

NASAhad to postpone the launch due to the risks associated with emptying the two spacecraft of their fuel. Because hyperbolic fuels are used, this process can pose several risks. New Glenn’s first mission, scheduled for November, will be a certification flight under the Space Force’s National Security Space Launch (NSSL) program. Blue Origin, two successful New Glenn After its mission, it can begin launching national security payloads.
