Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket is the company's first orbital-class launch vehicle. It stands a towering 320 feet tall (98 meters). It features a reusable first stage designed to return to Earth after launch and land on a barge named Jacklyn, after Jeff Bezos ' mother, in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Space Coast could welcome a big player to the launch landscape early Sunday with the debut of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, a two-day delay from original plans to launch early Friday. Blue Origin announced Thursday morning it was delaying because of bad weather in the Atlantic for a potential rocket booster recovery.

Stay tuned. Crews at NASA's Kennedy Space Center and neighboring Cape Canaveral Space Force Station are gearing up for a busy January, including SpaceX Starlink internet satellite missions, Blue Origin's maiden flight of the mighty New Glenn rocket, and the NASA-SpaceX Blue Ghost moon lander mission.
