Why is New Glenn so much bigger than Falcon Heavy but has less …
Aug 24, 2021 · If you compare the New Glenn to the Vulcan 2C, you can see that New Glenn gets considerably more mass to LEO, but falls off pretty fast as C3 increases. This may be because the BE-3U is less efficient than the RL-10, that the New Glenn upper stage stages much earlier than Vulcan's, which is less efficient for high energy payloads, or that the ...
New Glenn First Stage moving to the pad : r/SpaceXLounge - Reddit
Jan 10, 2024 · New Glenn is likely going to be the third ever reusable orbital launcher behind the Shuttle and Falcon, maybe 4th depending on Starship. But regardless, rockets like New Glenn are the future, while SLS is just an artifact of an era of corrupt politics and oldspace capture of NASA.
New Glenn vs Starship size comparison : r/BlueOrigin - Reddit
Feb 21, 2023 · As a result, I am happy that Space X have made Starship bigger than New Glenn, because that means Blue Origin when they come to build New Armstrong, and bigger rockets to come, will not have to waste all the money, and make all the mistakes that Space X have made [because development, especially the iterative development approach that Space X ...
New Glenn launch price : r/BlueOrigin - Reddit
Feb 23, 2021 · This isn't unreasonable if New Glenn launches will be full up on payload, but most likely even F9 is running with some margin. 25 uses is reasonable and New Glenn achieves this number. Musk has said they could reuse a Falcon core 100x, but I don't think that's reasonable, and SpaceX loses a booster about 5-10% of the time currently (too soon to ...
What is the TLI payload capacity of New Glenn? : r/BlueOrigin
Oct 23, 2021 · New Glenn doesn't go to TLI. New Glenn is a Super Heavy Lift Launch Core. A lot of people aren't paying attention or don't know about the effect of a rising sea level on Cape Canaveral. Cape Canaveral has about 20 years of use left in it, and that is if it isn't hit with a Category 5 hurricane in the meantime. Bezos knows what it means.
Starship Vs New Glenn (Size Comparison) : r/SpaceXLounge - Reddit
Jan 26, 2019 · The New Glenn fairing and payload capacity is perfectly suited to dual launch two heavy GEO sats. New Glenn reusable can put 2 6.5 tonne sats to GEO transfer, as well as do big, heavy direct-to-GEO DOD launches. Large fairing + large payload = good dual launch vehicle. Mind you, I think New Glenn is a bit overpowered for the LEO market.

Mar 13, 2024 · First flight of Blue Moon is 12 months away but Blue Origin is planning 2 flights of New Glenn this year. The first flight is known to be the 2 Escapade satellites and it was assumed that the second flight would be the Blue Moon pathfinder flight as Blue Origin stated it was planning 2 pathfinder flights on the Blue Moon Mk1 for the Sustainable HLS contract, one in 2024 and another in 2025.
Any guesses as to the new Glenn cost per launch? : r/BlueOrigin
Nov 1, 2020 · New Glenn is much bigger than F9. F9 can take ~23 tonnes to LEO; New Glenn will take ~45 tonnes. Assuming similar efficiencies, the fuel mass alone in NG will be much more. F9 has got more reusability proven; not just the booster, but also fairings. The required infrastructure (ships, port facilities) have already been created.
New Glenn Heavy? : r/BlueOrigin - Reddit
I doubt it. New Glenn will be competing with SpaceX starship, which is likely to be cheaper per kg but more suitable for the heaviest payloads. New Glenn can probably find a market for orbits not suitable for ride sharing. If there was a NG heavy, it would have a capacity closer to starship but be even more expensive per kg.
New Glenn payload mass to LEO is 18% - 38% greater than Falcon …
Mar 9, 2017 · Based on this we can estimate a triple-cored New Glenn getting 2.5 times more payload. If the expendable NG is at 64 mt payload that would put the triple-cored at ca. 160 mt. This is greater than the Saturn V payload and greater than the max payload of the SLS in its final version. For one thing, it could launch a manned lunar landing mission.
