New Glenn
New Glenn (2 stage) |
The New Glenn is a planned partial reusable heavy lift launch system under development by Blue Origin.
Stage 1 with a diameter of 7 m will be powered by seven methane / LOX fueled BE-4 engines. The first stage is 25 times reusable by landing on a barge off the coast. The second stage, also 7 m diameter, uses two liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen fueled vacuum opitimzed BE-3U engines. The upper stage for the three-stage version uses a single liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen fueled BE-3U engine.
The two-stage version will stand 82.3 m tall, while the three-stage version is 94.4 m tall. The two-stage version will be able to put 45 tons into a low earth orbit and 13 tons into a geostationary transfer orbit.
Blue Origin intends to launch the rocket from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral. Blue Origin plans the first orbital launch 2021 from Cape Canaveral.
