We did it! Orbital. Great night for Team Blue. On to spring and trying again on the landing. (Here is another view!)

New Glenn safely reached its intended orbit during today's NG-1 mission, accomplishing our primary objective. The second stage is in its final orbit following two successful burns of the BE-3U engines. The Blue Ring Pathfinder is receiving data and performing well. We lost the booster during descent. We knew landing the first stage on the first try was ambitious. We'll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch in the spring. We're thrilled with today's outcome.

We’re proud to advance lunar science with two cutting-edge technologies flying on Firefly Aerospace’s exciting Blue Ghost Mission 1 as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program. The Lunar Instrumentation for Subsurface Thermal Exploration with Rapidity, or LISTER, probes up to 3 meters deep to measure the Moon’s heat flow. Our Lunar PlanetVac uses compressed gas to collect and transport lunar soil in seconds. Photos courtesy Firefly Aerospace
