Blue Origin transported the massive first stage booster for the first launch of its New Glenn rocket to the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Wednesday.

Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp posted images on social media showing the 58-foot-long first stage, featuring seven BE-4 engines covered in not-so-small Blue Origin logos, making the journey from its factory on Merritt Island. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex toward Canaveral’s future launch site at Space Launch Complex 36.

Jeff Bezos’ rocket company is still targeting a November launch of the heavy-lift rocket, which will have a height of more than 320 feet when combined with the second stage and fairing. The exact date has not yet been announced, but Port Canaveral officials hinted at a Nov. 30 target date at a recent port commission meeting.

Limp noted that the booster’s 23-mile trip “was a couple of hours’ drive to our pad because we had to take the long way.”

Limp said it was placed on two in-house assembled trailers to support the rocket, which includes 22 axles and 176 tires, pulled by a redesigned U.S. Army tank carrier called the Oshkosh M1070, which has 505 horsepower and 1,825 pound-feet of torque.

“Seems appropriate, we called it GERT — Giant Giant Rocket Truck. “The distance between GERT’s front bumper and the rear of the trailer is 310 feet, about the length of a football field,” he said.

He started his journey before sunrise and reached in the afternoon. The next step is to assemble the first and second stages at the launch pad for a fully integrated hot fire dress rehearsal, Limp said. The second stage recently completed its own hot fire at the launch site.

If all goes well, the company will proceed with the launch.

Bezos invested more than $1 billion just to get the SLC-36 up and running for launches. Located at the southern end of the Space Force station, the launches will be just 5 miles from the bay at Canaveral Harbor and will be popular with crowds looking for a spectacle, as will the beaches of Jetty Park. By comparison, the popular SpaceX Falcon Heavy launches from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39-A are 14 miles from the entrance.

Blue Origin took over the lease of the LC-36 in 2015. It was previously used for government launches between 1962 and 2005, including the 1967 moon lander Surveyor 1 and some Mariner probes.

Although the rocket has not yet been tested, it will not be the first time the BE-4 engines have flown, as Blue Origin supplies them to customer United Launch Alliance, which has used them on two launches of its Vulcan Centaur so far and is using them for its next launch.

While Vulcan rockets use only two, New Glenn’s seven engines will give it more than 3.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff.

The company had to shift gears to focus on its own rocket after delivering enough BE-4 engines to ULA to support the company’s launch manifest by 2024. However, it recently backtracked when ULA CEO Tory Bruno posted a picture of another new BE-4. Since ULA has a backlog of 25 national security missions as well as commercial companies lined up to fly Vulcan rockets, 4 have been procured for a future 2025 launch.

But while Vulcan rockets may be expendable, New Glenn plans to reuse the first stage booster and the seven engines that power it.

Similar to the SpaceX Falcon 9 thrusters, the New Glenn thrusters are aimed for a recovery range in the Atlantic aboard Blue Origin’s landing craft named Jacklyn, named after Bezos’ mother.

The new Glenn boosters are designed for 25 flights.

Blue Origin is flying its own hardware as payload for the first flight, a satellite delivery technology it calls Blue Ring, although it doesn’t have a paying customer, which will be required if it successfully flags off the first of two required certification flights. It could potentially be rewarded by the US Space Force’s rocket, as well as SpaceX and ULA, in lucrative future national security missions.

Its second flyby may not arrive until the spring, and it could be a pair of NASA satellites headed to Mars. NASA was originally scheduled to man the first New Glenn flight, but the launch window and rocket readiness were not guaranteed, so it opted to wait until 2025 and save it from having to load the satellites with expensive fuel. If it misses the launch window, drain again.

Blue Origin also has several flights under contract with Bezos’ former company, Amazon, which is trying to launch thousands of Project Kuiper internet satellites to build a constellation that could compete with SpaceX’s Starlink. Amazon has dozens of launches planned over the next few years at Blue Origin, ULA, Arianespace and even SpaceX.
