Part 6/8:
In parallel with SpaceX, Blue Origin is in the midst of exciting developments with its New Glenn rocket. The program has successfully completed a full-duration static fire test, igniting all of its seven massive BE-4 engines for 24 seconds. This achievement propels New Glenn into the competitive space launch market as one of the largest operational rockets behind SpaceX and NASA's Space Launch System (SLS).
With a launch window set for early January, Blue Origin has finally cleared historical delays and is now poised for its maiden flight. As the launch approaches, operational signs have indicated heightened activity surrounding the New Glenn launch pad with logistical preparations underway for upcoming tests.
