New Glenn, named after NASA astronaut John Glenn, is a heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle in development by Blue Origin. Design work on the vehicle began in 2012. Illustrations of the vehicle, and the high-level specifications, were initially publicly unveiled in September 2016. New Glenn is described as a two-stage rocket with a diameter of 7 m (23 ft). Its first stage will be powered by seven BE-4 engines that are also being designed and manufactured by Blue Origin.
Like the New Shepard suborbital launch vehicle that preceded it, the New Glenn's first stage is designed to be reusable. Originally intended for first launch in 2020, by 2018 Blue Origin expected to launch New Glenn in 2021, which was subsequently delayed to no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2022 in February 2021.
