New Glenn Rocket Launch Ends In Failure For AST SpaceMobile
Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket launched AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird satellite on Sunday, but the satellite was placed in a lower than planned orbit, rendering it unusable. Despite the failure, the rocket’s booster successfully landed on a drone ship. AST SpaceMobile plans to recover the cost of the satellite under its insurance policy. The launch was reported by PCMag.
