Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 03-20-2025 07:31 AM The Museum of Flight release <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]Blue Origin Rocket Engine Arrives at Museum[/b]</font> On March 17, the Museum’s 50-year-old NASA Space Shuttle Trainer began sharing its space with a new state-of-the-art rocket engine developed by Kent, Washington space company Blue Origin. The BE-3U engine was delivered via flatbed and installed near the towering <a href="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum41/HTML/000501.html">Shuttle Trainer</a> in the Charles Simonyi Space Gallery. The prototype BE-3U engine was designed to power the upper stage of Blue Origin's giant reusable New Glenn rocket that launched for the first time only a couple months ago. Standing nearly 15 feet tall with a weight of over a ton, the engine is the largest object on display in the Museum’s exhibit focusing on the latest in rocket science and space programs today. On March 18, the Museum installed a 16-foot, 1:20 scale model of the New Glenn orbital rocket next to the BE-3U engine.</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/museum_of_flight_blue_origin_be3u_engine01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/museum_of_flight_blue_origin_be3u_engine01.jpg" width="400" height="271" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/museum_of_flight_blue_origin_be3u_engine02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/museum_of_flight_blue_origin_be3u_engine02.jpg" width="400" height="247" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/museum_of_flight_blue_origin_be3u_engine03-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/museum_of_flight_blue_origin_be3u_engine03.jpg" width="400" height="384" border="0"></a></center>
