Po wczorajszym przybyciu, Blue Origin odebrało GS1-7E02 z Jacklyn i umieściło go na swoim transporterze. Zostanie on przeniesiony na LC-36, gdzie zostanie odnowiony przed kolejnym lotem, prawdopodobnie NG-5. Wkrótce dołączy do niego GS1-7E03, którego debiut spodziewany jest na NG-4.

Po dzisiejszym starcie FH z satelitą o podobnej masie można porównać te 2 rakiety.

Znowu potwierdziło się, że starty nowych rakiet są bardziej ryzykowne.
Jak duży okaże się poziom niezawodności i częstotliwości startów rakiety NG to dopiero niezbyt odległa przyszłość pokaże.

Turnaround time : NG: We have to wait and see how quickly Blue Origin refly the recovered NG first stages. They hope to refly the first one soon, only a few months after recovery.
F9 boosters are often reflown in 30 to 60 days. FH flights are less frequent.

Cost to LEO : NG $ 68 M (est’ for early launches) for up to 45 tonnes, ie. not less than $ 1,500 /kg.
FH (recovering 2 boosters) : $95 M for up to 57 tonnes, not less than $1,600/kg.
FH (all expended) : $160 M for up to 64 tonnes, ie not less than $ 2,500 /kg.

Blue Origin seem to be selling early NG launches below cost to undercut current FH prices. Later launches may cost $110 M or more.

New Glenn can handle wider payloads, having a 9 m wide payload fairing compared to the 5 m of Falcon.
