Mint Bangalore
|April 20, 2026
Blue Origin’s flagship New Glenn rocket launched to space on its third flight, reusing a booster for the first time in a milestone for the Jeff Bezos-backed company in its quest to rival SpaceX.
The rocket took off from the launchpad at Cape Canaveral, Florida at approximately 7:25am local time.

The rocket took off from the launchpad at Cape Canaveral, Florida at approximately 7:25am local time, and its reusable first stage returned to Earth at 7:35am, touching down on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean.
New Glenn was carrying a satellite built by AST SpaceMobile Inc., a Texas-based company building out a network to deliver connectivity directly to mobile phones. The rocket is expected to deploy the satellite around 75 minutes after the launch.
The satellite launch is the first of the year for AST SpaceMobile, which started 2026 with only seven satellites in orbit. The company said in March that it intends to launch as many as 60 satellites this year.
