Blue Origin sets a new window for New Glenn launch.
Following yesterday’s launch attempt being scrubbed, the NG-1 launch was first pushed to “no earlier than Tuesday” and now “no earlier than Thursday”
The rocket launch has been kicked down the road several times because of unfavorable conditions, including “ice forming in a purge line on an auxiliary power unit” during Monday’s attempt.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn launch is delayed again.
Citing conditions at sea that “are still unfavorable for booster landing,” the company posted that it’s pushing the mission back 24 hours to a three-hour launch window starting Monday at 1AM ET.
It’s the second delay since its January 10th target. Blue Origin will likely livestream the launch on its website and YouTube channel. See our write-up below for more mission details.
