LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- U.S. aerospace company Blue Origin scrubbed the first launch of its massive New Glenn rocket scheduled for early Monday.
The uncrewed New Glenn mission is scheduled to carry Blue Ring Pathfinder to orbit, a payload that will test key technologies for its Blue Ring orbital transfer vehicle.
New Glenn was planned to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in the U.S. state of Florida with a launch window opening at 1:00 a.m. Eastern Time (0600 GMT). But Blue Origin kept delaying launch time several times.
Blue Origin later said on X that it is standing down on Monday's launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue, adding it is reviewing opportunities for its next launch attempt. ■
