Blue Origin lands reused New Glenn rocket booster for the first time

Sunday, 19 April 2026, 14:16 · 1 min read

Jeff Bezos's space company Blue Origin successfully landed a reused booster from its New Glenn rocket on Sunday following its third launch, marking a significant milestone in the vehicle's development. The rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida carrying AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite into low Earth orbit before the booster returned to Earth. The achievement brings New Glenn a step closer to the kind of rapid reusability that has been central to the competitive economics of modern commercial spaceflight.
