NG-2 Update: New Glenn is ready to launch. However, due to highly elevated solar activity and its potential effects on the ESCAPADE spacecraft, NASA is postponing launch until space weather conditions improve. We are currently assessing opportunities to establish our next launch

This Veterans Day, we honor the service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans. Erik Henriksen, a U.S. Air Force Veteran, leads New Shepard friction stir welding, shaping human spaceflight for the next generation. We’re honored to have him and more than 1,000 veterans on Team

Looking forward to a lot more blue diamonds!

Thanks ⁦@blueorigin⁩ . We’ll put these BE4s to good use.

NG-2 Launch Update: Our next launch attempt is no earlier than Wednesday, November 12, due to forecasted weather and sea state conditions. We worked with the FAA and range to select a launch window from 2:50 PM – 4:17 PM EST / 19:50 – 21:17 UTC. The live webcast starts at T-20

Today’s NG-2 launch is scrubbed due to weather, specifically the cumulus cloud rule. We’re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt based on forecasted weather.

New Glenn’s new T-0 is 4:12 PM EST / 21:12 UTC.

Weather is now clear. However, the launch team is looking into an issue with our ground support equipment at the pad.

Entering a hold to allow more time for the weather to clear. New T-0 forthcoming.

Launch Director Megan Lewis has instructed the team to reset the clock with a new T-0 of 3:18 PM EST / 20:18 UTC to allow for weather to clear for launch.

LIVE NOW: Tune in to watch the NG-2 webcast!
