Join us for a deep dive into Blue Origin's New Glenn: the 7-meter-diameter heavy lift with BE-4 methane engines on the first stage and BE-3U hydrolox on the upper stage, and the bold aim of 25 flights per booster. We unpack the design choices, the reusability strategy, NG-1’s orbit and landing mishap, the NG-2 mission with NASA's Escapade and a Viasat payload, and the Amazon Kuiper contracts driving a high launch cadence. Weighing the big market question—will customers prize the lowest cost per kilogram or the predictability of a fixed launch schedule?
