Blue Origin pauses New Glenn launch at Cape Canaveral
Blue Origin scrubbed the scheduled Sunday afternoon launch of its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral and temporarily deactivated its launch operations support team, officials said. The company has not disclosed the reason for the scrub; engineers are investigating and Blue Origin said it will provide updates when more information is available.
Mission details: The flight would have been New Glenn's second mission and was set to carry NASA satellites for the ESCAPADE mission to Mars — a high-profile payload that drew sizable crowds to the Space Coast.
Local coverage and viewing: Local broadcaster Channel 9 reported the countdown is on hold and will continue to provide updates as details emerge. Cherie Down Park, with its beachside views of the launch complex, remained a popular vantage point for spectators hoping to see the launch.
The pause underscores the technical complexity of repeat flights for a new heavy-lift vehicle. Blue Origin and NASA will coordinate on a revised target date once the investigation identifies the issue and any necessary corrective actions.
