Quite a sight to see the progress this team has made since May 28. Wreckage recovery from start to finish was completed in 9 days, and all debris has been cleared from Launch Complex 36. Huge shoutout to the team who have been working 7x24. We have started reconstruction and still plan to fly again this year. Will have more details on the new conop soon.

BOOSTER TOUCHDOWN! New Glenn returns to its blue origin.

[Dave Limp @davill]

Love seeing New Glenn's seven BE-4 engines come alive! Congratulations to Team Blue on today's hotfire. We extended the hotfire duration this time to simulate the landing burn sequence by shutting down the non-gimballed engines after ramping down to 50 percent thrust, then shutting down the outboard gimballed engines while ramping the center engine to 80 percent thrust. This helps us understand fluid interactions between active and inactive engine feedlines during landing. Next, we will mate @NASA's ESCAPADE payload to the launch vehicle and enter final preparations for launch.

We completed a successful hotfire of our fully integrated New Glenn launch vehicle at LC-36! All seven engines performed nominally with a 38 second duration test including all seven engines operating at 100% thrust for 22 seconds.

GS2 serial number 3 at the pad for hot fire. Good to see the lightning arrester towers working as designed…

@AmsayIllsway We tried to hire you

Pointy end up! New Glenn is vertical at LC-36 in Florida. Just need the sea to settle down a bit. Some context on our 1/12 target launch date—our objective is to reach orbit. Anything beyond that is a bonus. Landing our booster offshore is ambitious—but we’re going for it.  No matter what, we will learn a lot.

It's getting real, folks!

@blueorigin's recovery vessel, Jacklyn, has departed Port Canaveral for the inaugural launch of New Glenn. She is in the company of her supporting vessel Harvey Stone.

Next time we see them in port might be pretty exciting 👀

A successful hotfire of our fully integrated New Glenn launch vehicle at LC-36! The seven-engine hotfire lasted 24 seconds and marked the first time we operated the entire flight vehicle as an integrated system. Read more: https://t.co/2VEpDNsLs2

Next stop launch

[Dave Limp @davill]

A big thanks to the FAA for the partnership, especially over the holidays. Here’s to NG-1 -- we are really close, folks.

STATIC FIRE! Blue Origin New Glenn conducts its first fully integrated Static Fire test at LC-36.

[The FAA ✈️ @FAANews]

The FAA issued a Part 450 commercial space license authorizing the first launch of @blueorigin's New Glenn vehicle. The FAA determined Blue Origin met all safety, environmental & other licensing requirements well ahead of the statutory deadline. https://t.co/E7hr8hUYnQ. #FAASpace

We are all clear to complete a wet dress rehearsal this week ahead of hotfire for #NewGlenn

Here is one of my iPhone videos of the LRHW test launch from Cape Canaveral this morning. 👍🏻🚀🦅🔥

[JohnCn @JConcilus]

An initial view of this morning’s Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) / Dark Eagle system test launch from Cape Canaveral’s pad SLC-46. This is a joint Army-Navy hypersonic weapon land & sea deployment. Will add a thread this afternoon with more details & different camera angle.
