New Glenn is a heavy-lift rocket developed by Blue Origin, designed to carry payloads to orbit. Named after the astronaut John Glenn, it features a reusable first stage that can land back on Earth, similar to SpaceX's Falcon 9. This reusability aims to reduce launch costs and increase access to space. The rocket is powered by seven BE-4 engines, which burn a mix of liquid oxygen and liquefied natural gas. With a height of 98 meters, New Glenn can deliver up to 45 metric tons to low Earth orbit, making it suitable for a variety of missions, including satellite launches and interplanetary missions.
