Blue Origin landed its recycled New Glenn booster but failed to put payload in orbit
Blue Origin successfully landed and reused its New Glenn rocket booster for the second time on its third mission. However, the mission failed to place the AST SpaceMobile communications satellite into orbit due to an "off-nominal orbit" at too low an altitude. Despite the payload failure, the successful booster reuse marks a significant step for the company's reusability program.
