Blue Origin New Glenn Components

This is a brief overview of the components of the Blue Origin New Glenn in its two-stage configuration.

Overview

The New Glenn is a two or three-stage orbital launch vehicle, developed by Blue Origin. The first stage burns methalox with seven BE-4 engines; the second stage, also methalox, is powered by the BE-4U.

An optional hydrolox third stage, used for high-energy destinations such as GTO/GEO, would be powered by a BE-3U engine; the non-vacuum variant, the BE-3, powers Blue Origin’s New Shepard vehicle.
