Story Brief

Blue Origin's huge New Glenn rocket launched into space for the third time ever Sunday morning (April 19) — but, in a first for the company, it soared into orbit powered by a previously flown booster.

Liftoff occurred at 7:25 a.

Jeff Bezos' space company just took a giant leap forward on its path to reusable orbital rockets, even as it tracks an "off-nominal" orbit of its latest satellite launch.
