Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Grounded After Satellite Placed in Incorrect Orbit
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket was grounded by the FAA after its upper stage delivered AST SpaceMobile's satellite to a lower-than-planned orbit, rendering it inoperable. The satellite will be de-orbited, and the FAA is investigating the incident. This marks another setback for Blue Origin following a previous grounding in 2022.
