Blue Origin prenosi uživo lansiranje New Glenn (NG-3). Lansiranje je zakazano za nedelju, 19. april, u prozoru 06:45–08:45 ET sa Kompleksa 36 na Cape Canaveral. Livestream počinje ~30 minuta pre lansiranja na sajtu Blue Origin i na X. Misija nosi AST SpaceMobile satelit BlueBird 7 (antene ~2.400 ft²) i predviđa ponovnu upotrebu 188‑foot prvog stepena boostera.
Blue Origin Uživo Prenosi Lansiranje New Glenn (NG-3) — Gde Gledati i Šta Znati
The Artemis II mission launches April 1 from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The four-person crew aboard the Orion spacecraft hitched a ride to orbit atop NASA's giant 322-foot Space Launch System rocket. Launching atop 8.8 million pounds of thrust, the SLS is the most powerful rocket NASA ever launched, about 17% more powerful than the iconic Saturn V rocket used during the Apollo era.
Blue Origin će uživo prenositi treće lansiranje svoje masivne rakete New Glenn, zakazano za nedelju, 19. april. Ova misija, označena kao NG-3, sledi debi rakete u januaru 2025. i predstavlja važan korak u planovima kompanije da učestvuje na tržištu komercijalnih lansiranja i podrži Bezosove LEO satelitske projekte.
Gde i kada gledati
Lansiranje je planirano iz Lansirnog Kompleksa 36 na Cape Canaveral Space Force Station u Floridi, u prozoru od 06:45 do 08:45 po istočnoameričkom vremenu (ET). Blue Origin će započeti direktan prenos otprilike 30 minuta pre planiranog poletanja na svojoj zvaničnoj veb-stranici i na platformi X.
Osnovne informacije o misiji
New Glenn je teška dvostepena raketa visine oko 320 stopa (~98 m), nazvana po astronautu Johna Glenn-a. NG-3 će nositi satelite kompanije AST SpaceMobile, uključujući BlueBird 7 — satelit sa komunikacionim nizovima od približno 2.400 kvadratnih stopa (~223 m²), koji bi bio jedan od najvećih komercijalnih satelita postavljenih u nisku zemljinu orbitu.
Zašto je ovo važno
Blue Origin planira da ponovo upotrebi prvi stepen boostera visine 188 stopa (~57 m), koji je prethodno leteo u novembru pod imenom "Never Tell Me the Odds". Uspešna ponovna upotreba boostera ključna je za smanjenje troškova i povećanje učestalosti lansiranja — koncept u kojem je SpaceX već dugo pionir sa Falcon 9.
Tehnički detalji i provera
Pre lansiranja, New Glenn je uspešno prošao ključni predletni test poznat kao "hot fire" — paljenje i rad motora dok je raketa postavljena na rampu, što je suštinska provera spremnosti sistema. Ako vremenski uslovi i svi sistemi budu nominalni, raketa će poleteti u planiranom prozoru.
Napomena: Tamo gde je navedeno, mere su prikazane u stopama i približnim metričkim ekvivalentima radi jasnoće.
Ova misija ima šire implikacije: New Glenn bi u budućnosti mogao da lansira komponente Amazonove LEO širokopojasne mreže i, potencijalno, da učestvuje u lunarnim misijama zakazanim za 2026. Blue Origin je takođe u pregovorima sa U.S. Space Force oko mogućeg proširenja operacija na Vandenberg Space Force Base u Kaliforniji.

Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman of NASA took this stunning photograph of Earth from the Orion spacecraft's window on April 2. The image is reminiscent of the iconic "blue marble" image captured during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
NASA astronaut Christina Koch, a mission specialist on Artemis II, gazes out the windows of the Orion vehicle back at Earth as she and the crew head toward the moon. Koch, who already holds several NASA records from her first spaceflight in 2019 to the International Space Station, became the first woman to fly on a lunar mission.
Before going to sleep April 5, the Artemis II crew snapped one more photo of the moon, as it drew close in the window of the Orion spacecraft. Shortly after, the astronauts entered the lunar sphere of influence, where the pull of the moon's gravity became stronger than Earth's.
The crew of Artemis II captured a breathtaking image of a celestial event known as an "Earthset," in which the Earth dropped below the lunar horizon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic "Earthrise" photo that NASA astronaut Bill Anders captured in 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission that showed our planet rising on the lunar horizon.
Of the impact craters, ancient lava flows and other lunar features the Artemis II astronauts observed during an April 6 flyby, a crater known as the Orientale basin was perhaps the most prominent. Spanning nearly 600 miles, the 3.8 billion year old crater (seen in the upper center of this photo) had never been seen with the naked eye prior to the mission.
The Orion spacecraft the Artemis II astronauts were aboard is captured in the same frame as both the moon and Earth in this photo captured about four hours into the historic April 6 flyby.
This image shows the moon fully eclipsing the sun from the vantage of the Orion spacecraft, not unlike what millions of people witnessed in April 2024 from Earth. From the crew’s perspective, the moon appeared large enough to completely block the sun, creating nearly 54 minutes of totality and revealing our star's elusive outermost layer, known as the corona.
The crew members of Artemis II embrace following the historic lunar flyby April 6, during which the astronauts flew farther from Earth than anyone in human history while seeing sights of the moon's far side never seen in person.
The Artemis II crew captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy’s spiral arms, about halfway from the center.
Blue Origin's third New Glenn rocket sits on Launch Complex 36 at dusk Tuesday, April 14, at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
