Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]The FAA closed its mishap investigation into the inaugural flight of New Glenn on March 28, 2025. <BLOCKQUOTE>The FAA-required investigation of the Blue Origin New Glenn-1 mishap that occurred on Jan. 16 is closed. There were no public injuries or public property damage. The FAA oversaw and accepted the findings of the Blue Origin-led investigation. The final mishap report identified the proximate cause of the mishap as an inability of New Glenn's first stage to restart the engines, preventing a reentry burn from occurring, and resulting in the loss of the stage. Blue Origin identified seven corrective actions to prevent reoccurrence of the event. The FAA will verify that Blue Origin implements corrective actions prior to the launch of the New Glenn-2 mission. The Blue Origin New Glenn vehicle is authorized to return to flight provided all other licensing requirements are met. Contact Blue Origin for more information.</BLOCKQUOTE> Statement from Blue Origin: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]We've submitted our final report and fulfilled our obligations to the FAA regarding the NG-1 mission booster landing attempt. New Glenn launched successfully on January 16, achieving our goal to reach orbit and deploy Blue Ring. Our ambitious attempt to land the booster, "So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance," was unsuccessful due to our three BE-4 engines not re-igniting properly. Our review confirmed that all debris landed in our designated hazard area with no threat to public safety. The report identified seven corrective actions, focusing on propellant management and engine bleed control improvements, which we're already addressing. We expect to return to flight in late spring and will attempt to land the booster again.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
