Following the FAA giving permission for Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket to return to flight, the rocket is expected to potentially carry a batch of Amazon Leo satellites into orbit, likely on June 2nd subject to the usual weather and technical considerations.

Blue Origin’s landing barge (Jacklyn LPV-1) was reportedly moved out from Port Canaveral during the evening of May 25th in order to be motored out to the rocket’s target landing zone in the Atlantic.


Meanwhile, a pre-launch rocket engine firing test is likely to happen today [May 27th].

Amazon Leo has booked launch capacity on New Glenn rockets, as well as United Launch Alliance’s Atlas rockets and Arianespace vehicles.
