Currently Playing: Primary Mission Failure: What Went Wrong on New Glenn Flight 3? | Full Analysis

Blue Origin's New Glenn Flight 3 launched on April 19, 2026, achieving the first reuse of its massive first-stage booster "Never Tell Me The Odds." Lifting off from Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex-36 with AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite, the booster performed a flawless re-entry and landing on the droneship Jacklyn. However, the second stage experienced an anomaly during the upper stage burn, resulting in the failure to deploy the AST SpaceMobile payload into the correct orbit. In this detailed recap and analysis, we break down the full mission timeline, the second stage issue that left BlueBird 7 in an off-nominal orbit, and what this means for Blue Origin's reusability ambitions as they push to compete in the heavy-lift space race. 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🎥 Video from BocaChicaGal, Max Evans, Jerry Pike, D Wise, Starbase Live, Space Coast Live, Blue Origin, AST SpaceMobile, A.
