The seven engines of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket roared to life Friday, concluding an extensive test campaign on Florida's Space Coast of the 320-foot-tall rocket ahead of its maiden flight.

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.

SpaceX is planning to launch another batch of Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, on a Falcon 9 rocket on Tuesday.

Blue Origin's massive New Glenn rocket comes in at a towering 320 feet tall — which is equivalent to a 32-story skyscraper. Still, it's overshadowed by SpaceX's Starship, which current launches from Texas and may launch from Kennedy Space Center in the coming years.

Blue Origin wanted to launch its huge New Glenn rocket by the end of 2024, but that didn't happen. Now, it joins seven other launches scheduled for January at the Space Coast. Click for details.
