Earlier in November, Blue Origin canceled the launch of the “New Glenn” vehicle due to weather conditions. The “New Glenn” rocket was launched for the first time in January of this year.
Blue Origin had previously developed the New Shepard spacecraft, which is reusable, for suborbital human and scientific space flights. So far, 36 flights have been reported. The first flight with Bezos on board was in July 2021.
