The Jeff Bezos-owned commercial space company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueorigin.com\/missions\/ng-2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced that its next launch window<\/a> from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida will be attempted \u201cno earlier\u201d than Wednesday, November 12th, between 2:50PM and 4:17PM ET.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">This is a significant launch for the 320-foot-tall megarocket, which is tasked with sending NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/escapade\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">twin ESCAPADE<\/a> (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) probes into space \u2014 the first Mars-bound mission since NASA launched its Perseverance and Ingenuity vehicles in 2020 to explore the red planet\u2019s surface. The ESCAPADE satellites are projected to reach Mars orbit in 2027, where they will measure the planet\u2019s magnetic field and atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">This will also be Blue Origin\u2019s latest attempt to land New Glenn\u2019s reusable first-stage booster, which, much like SpaceX\u2019s Falcon rocket boosters, is designed to vertically touch down on a sea-based platform following launch. While Blue Origin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2025\/1\/16\/24342567\/blue-origin-launch-sucessful\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">successfully launched New Glenn<\/a> for the first time in January <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2025\/1\/11\/24339813\/blue-origin-new-glenn-rocket-launch-how-to-watch-time-date\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">after several delays<\/a>, the booster was lost during its landing descent. A successful launch and landing would help Blue Origin to prove itself as a deep-space launch provider that\u2019s capable of competing with established rivals like SpaceX and United Launch Alliance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Blue Origin says it worked with the Federal Aviation Administration to select its latest launch window, having seemingly been given an exemption to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/space-exploration\/launches-spacecraft\/faa-restricts-commercial-rocket-launches-indefinitely-due-to-air-traffic-risks-from-government-shutdown\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new FAA rules<\/a> that prohibit commercial rockets from being launched between 6AM and 10PM. This emergency order came into effect on November 10th to alleviate air traffic congestion during the ongoing government shutdown. If all goes to plan, the live webcast for New Glenn\u2019s second flight will start 20 minutes prior to launch on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The second launch of Blue Origin\u2019s partially reusable New Glenn rocket was scrubbed on Sunday due to adverse&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[59,50,90,416,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-255195","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-science","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-space","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
