The launch of the New Glenn rocket of Blue Origin, owned by American billionaire Jeff Bezos, was successfully launched this morning.
The launch was canceled earlier due to technical issues.
The rocket, about thirty stories tall and designed to be reusable, was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
This test flight, carried out without a crew, is intended to test technologies for the company’s needs.
The NG-1 countdown clock is proceeding. The three-hour launch window opens at 1 am EST (0600 UTC).

The mission’s main goal was to prove that New Glenn could reach orbit, paving the way for more complex missions in the future.
“We succeeded, the rocket reached orbit,” they said during a live broadcast of the successful mission.
