Blue Origin has for the first time landed the booster rocket for its largest spacecraft in a step forward for Jeff Bezos’s space venture as it tries to rival Elon Musk’s SpaceX in the satellite launch market. The company launched its 98-metre rocket called New Glenn from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 3.55pm on Thursday, several months later than planned and nearly a year after Blue Origin conducted its inaugural flight. https://on.ft.com/4nQA9IV | Financial Times

Jeff Bezos’ rocket company Blue Origin has just successfully landed its New Glenn rocket booster on a barge in the middle of the ocean — 25 years after its founding — becoming only the second company in history to land a rocket booster after SpaceX (2015). #jeffbezos #BlueOrigin #Rockets | The MES Times

Jeff Bezos' backed Blue Origin achieved a significant milestone with its New Glenn rocket. The booster successfully landed at sea after its debut mission. The rocket also carried NASA's ESCAPADE satellites on their journey to Mars. This mission marks a crucial step for Blue Origin's reusable launch program and its commercial capabilities. The ESCAPADE satellites will study Mars' atmosphere and solar wind interaction. #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn #NASA #ETNOW | ET NOW
