00:00Seven BE-4 engines will ignite and propel the rocket upward with over 3.8 million pounds of thrust, or roughly 17,000 kilonewtons.
00:12The vehicle will quickly reach supersonic speeds as it climbs through the atmosphere.
00:19As the rocket ascends, it will encounter maximum aerodynamic pressure, known as max Q, at around 40,000 feet, or 12 kilometers.
00:29This is the point at which the stress on the vehicle is at its highest.
00:34Around three minutes into the flight, the vehicle will turn off its engines, marking the end of the boost phase.
00:41Shortly after, the reusable first stage will separate and begin its journey back to Earth.
00:47Two BE-3U engines on the second stage will ignite and propel it onward into orbit with the payload.
00:55The reusable booster reorients in the vacuum of space using its reaction control system.
01:01At 220,000 feet, or 67 kilometers, it executes an exoatmospheric deceleration burn using its center three engines.
01:11These engines gimbal for maximum control of the booster.
01:14This burn slows the vehicle down before reentering the atmosphere.
01:19As it descends, the booster's strakes and fins work together to slow it down and guide it autonomously back to Earth, landing on a vessel at sea.
01:28At around 9,000 feet, or just under 3,000 meters, the first stage begins its final landing burn.
01:35The three middle engines will light for 20 seconds, slowing the vehicle in preparation for the final descent.
01:44The two outer engines will turn off, and the center engine will execute the final, controlled maneuver onto the landing platform.
01:56The vessel will return to Cape Canaveral to prepare for its next mission.
02:03Meanwhile, in space, the second stage will continue to power the payload towards its final orbit.
02:10At around 400,000 feet, or 120 kilometers, the payload fairings will jettison.
02:17New Glenn will deliver an unprecedented range of payloads.
02:20Large satellites, dual payloads, orbital vehicles, large constellation dispensers, even moon landers, destined to establish permanent human presence on the moon.
02:34Once it arrives at its insertion location, the payload will separate from New Glenn's second stage.
02:44The second stage can easily maneuver to deliver any payload to any required orbit.
02:56This is New Glenn.
02:59This is how we will build a road to space.
