Description
Blue Origin called off the debut launch of its massive new rocket early Monday because of technical trouble.
The 320-foot (98-meter) New Glenn rocket was supposed to blast off before dawn with a prototype satellite from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. But launch controllers had to deal with an unspecified rocket issue in the final minutes of the countdown and ran out of time. Once the countdown clock was halted, they immediately began draining all the fuel from the rocket.
Blue Origin did not immediately set a new launch date, saying the team needed more time to resolve the problem.
