New Glenn successfully completed its second mission by deploying

’s ESCAPADE twin spacecraft, powering on and transmitting data for

’s HaloNet technology demonstration, and landing the fully reusable first stage on Jacklyn. Learn more: bit.ly/4nYnIuu

A brown cylindrical rocket with a pointed nose and multiple circular engine nozzles at the base launches upward against a clear blue sky. Thick white smoke billows from the sides and bright blue and purple flames erupt from the engines creating a trail of fire and exhaust. The structure appears metallic with visible panels and struts.

Good overview of the landing. We nominally target a few hundred feet away from Jacklyn to avoid a severe impact if engines fail to start or start slowly. We’ll incrementally reduce that conservatism over time. We are all excited and grateful for yesterday. Amazing performance by

Another view

A tall white rocket stands vertically on the deck of a large offshore platform ship at night on calm ocean waters under a twilight sky. The ship has multiple levels with visible equipment like antennas railings and lighting. Spotlights illuminate the rocket base and surrounding areas highlighting structural details.

I loved the landing, but equally impressed with our team for the orbit insertion accuracy!

A dark blue circular bullseye chart labeled NEW GLENN-2 BULLSEYE CHART displays orbital insertion parameters with a central target point marked by a triangle, surrounded by concentric rings labeled 1 sigma, 2 sigma, and 3 sigma, axes for inclination and argument of perigee, and a C3 value at the top right.

First image shows a white SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on a launch pad at Cape Canaveral with two tall support towers, thick white exhaust plume billowing from the base during liftoff, coastal area with ocean, water body, vegetation, buildings, and a water tower in the background. Second image captures the same rocket ascending skyward with a bright purple flame and trail from its engines, set against a clear blue sky, near a historic black-and-white striped lighthouse, a small green house with white trim, trees, and launch infrastructure visible on the ground.

Some fun stills! Congrats Team Blue and NASA on an amazing day. Never tell me the odds!

First image shows a white rocket ascending vertically with pink exhaust flames trailing downward against a clear blue sky. Second image depicts an aerial view of a coastal launch site with white smoke rising from the pad near the ocean edge, surrounded by buildings and greenery. Third image captures the rocket mid-launch with thick white smoke clouds billowing from the base and launch tower. Fourth image illustrates the rocket rising from the pad with orange flames at the base, white smoke dispersing, and support structures visible nearby.

New Glenn has sent the command to power on a technology demonstration for

in support of

’ Communications Services Project.

Second stage engine re-light for a short duration burn confirmed.

New Glenn second stage is currently in a coast phase.

Second stage engine cutoff confirmed.

BOOSTER TOUCHDOWN! New Glenn returns to its blue origin.
