Blue Origin announces third stage and new engine for New Glenn rocket
Blue Origin announced that an unnamed government customer has booked a GS3 mission to cislunar space with launch targeted for 2028.
According to Blue Origin, the 9x4 variant will be nearly 400 feet (122 m) tall and able to loft 15.4 tons (14 metric tons) to GTO and 77 tons (70 metric tons) to LEO.
Blue Origin says Northstar went from program approval to development testing in 11 months.
