Blue Origin finally logged a clean booster recovery with New Glenn, giving Jeff Bezos’ company proof that its heavy-lift rocket can reuse components the same way SpaceX has since October 2024.
The flight also shipped two NASA satellites towards Mars as New Glenn’s first paying-customer science payload. The launch marked an impressive step forward in the long catch-up effort for New Glenn. Just over a month ahead of its potential ban in the US, DJI has launched its lightest and most compact drone to date… and for obvious reasons, it won’t be coming stateside anytime soon. The Neo 2 joins a lineup of DJI releases that have hit the market almost everywhere but the US this year, though the company’s spotlight in the US government runs much deeper. Joby Aviation announced the first flight of its recently developed turbine-electric, autonomous VTOL aircraft. This comes just three months after the aircraft concept was announced in conjunction with L3Harris Technologies, who brings technologies and expertise to address defense applications for the U.S. military.
