Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Jeff Bezos in 2000, waved off an attempt to launch its first orbital rocket.
• The New Glenn rocket was scheduled to launch between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. ET Monday from a Blue Origin-controlled launchpad in Florida.
• Blue Origin said engineers worked to troubleshoot an issue with the rocket but could not resolve the problem in time.
• It’s not yet clear when Blue Origin may make another launch attempt.
• Previously known for its suborbital space tourism rocket, Blue Origin is seeking to use New Glenn to better compete with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which has dominated the global launch market for years.
• This uncrewed test flight is carrying demonstration technology to space for Blue Origin. The overall goal of the mission is to prove New Glenn can reach orbit, paving the way for more complex missions down the road.
