Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket is poised to launch, marking the company's entry into the orbital launch market and intensifying competition with SpaceX.
BLUE ORIGIN , the space company founded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is set to launch its first orbital rocket, New Glenn , next week. The launch is scheduled for as early as Wednesday at 1 a.m. from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with a backup window on Friday. This marks a significant moment in the commercial space race , as Blue Origin enters the orbital launch market after years of suborbital flights with its New Shepard rocket.
The NG-1 mission will carry a prototype of Blue Ring, a Defense Department-funded spacecraft designed for satellite deployment. The launch will escalate the rivalry between Bezos and Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, which currently dominates the market.
