Blue Origin's New Glenn achieved a successful booster landing after its launch from Cape Canaveral on April 20, but the BlueBird 7 satellite intended for AST SpaceMobile did not reach its designated orbit. This marks the first successful landing of New Glenn since its initial launch in January of the previous year.
Although the rocket, comparable in height to NASA's SLS at 98 meters, successfully landed vertically, AST confirmed the second stage did not insert the satellite into orbit and plans to deorbit it soon. The failure underscores the competitive pressures faced by Blue Origin as it positions itself against SpaceX in the satellite launch sector.
