The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket following its Sunday launch from Cape Canaveral. The rocket looked good on the way up, but the upper stage wasn’t able to put its payload into the correct orbit.
Blue Origin’s New Glenn suffered a malfunction of its second stage on the rocket’s third flight April 19, stranding its payload in an “off-nominal” orbit.
