Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket

Blue Origin, the space company of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is developing a heavy-lift launcher called New Glenn, far more powerful than the New Shepard rocket used for space tourists.

The rocket is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida as soon as Wednesday 1:00 am (0600 GMT), with a backup window on Friday, according to a Federal Aviation Administration advisory.
