US EditionBezos's Blue Origin Postpones New Glenn Rocket Launch Due To Weather
- On Sunday, November 9, 2025, Blue Origin postponed the second New Glenn flight, calling off the attempt around 4:13PM as the window closed and scheduling the next launch no earlier than November 12 between 2:50PM and 4:17PM ET.
- Bad weather and a pad fault forced repeated holds during the launch window, as rain, a ground system issue, cumulus cloud rule restrictions, and the Carnival Vista cruise ship delayed mission managers at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.
- The mission carried NASA's twin ESCAPADE probes headed for Mars, doubling as a key test of New Glenn's first-stage booster recovery and reusability ambitions.
- The FAA's emergency order restricting daytime launches took effect on November 10th, limiting commercial launches to off-peak nighttime hours and complicating Blue Origin's daytime launch exemption request.
- The delay heightens competition with Elon Musk's SpaceX as Blue Origin seeks momentum; a successful second flight would help clear a US$10 billion backlog and prove New Glenn's deep-space capability.
