FAA clears Blue Origin's New Glenn for liftoff after investigating a cryogenic leak that caused a second-stage malfunction.
The failure placed AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite in an off-nominal orbit before it was de-orbited.
The root cause was a cryogenic leak that froze a hydraulic line, triggering the thrust anomaly in the second stage.
The booster 'Never Tell Me The Odds' was reused for the first time in the NG-3 mission as a mark of reusability.
The mission carried AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite, intended to provide direct smartphone connectivity.
Blue Origin's investigation confirmed corrective measures to prevent a similar anomaly in future launches.
The NG-3 mission had grounded the program due to the recent failure, affecting Blue Origin's launch cadence.
Blue Origin aims to ramp up production, aspiring to produce 60 New Glenn upper stages by Q3 2028.
The investigation concluded with a formal FAA clearance and a pathway to resumed launches.
New Glenn's upper-stage engine burn was the focal point of the April 19 anomaly.
