00:00Megan Lewis, she's in the control room now. I know this is an exciting moment from her.
00:05There we have employees from all across the United States. This is Huntsville, Alabama.
00:10Big shout out to our teams there. And of course, HQ, Penn Washington, UC Washington.
00:22Alright, rocket going through its last motions here.
00:25Making sure the tanks are pressurized to their proper flight levels.
00:30That's right.
00:37A warm day in Florida, but that rocket is super cold.
00:41T-minus two minutes.
00:45T-minus two minutes to go. LNG on the first stage, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
00:54On the second stage, New Glen looking beautiful. And there you go.
01:03Beach goers with a great view.
01:05What makes this place so special down here on the Space Coast?
01:10A day on the beach, but you can sit there because our path is so far south.
01:14A spectacular view for everybody here in Cocoa Beach.
01:18Now we've transitioned from ground power to the vehicle's own internal power.
01:23I mean, we are getting close.
01:25Aria, hold my hand. I'm getting really excited.
01:29There are those BE-4s, seven of them, ready to take new Glen.
01:36Three-point-eight-five million pounds of thrust come to my reel.
01:41T-minus 60 seconds.
01:44In just 60 seconds here, as mentioned before.
01:48We will light four of the engines, then three of the engines.
01:52That's about a second or two off for a staggered start.
01:56You'll see the big water deluge, and that's when you know that it's game on.
02:00I love hearing all those sounds.
02:06You hear the power up?
02:07You certainly do.
02:08And with that...
02:09You'll see that water any second now.
02:11Let's turn it over to launch control.
02:14Let's go, new Glen.
02:15GS1 hydraulics internal.
02:16Never tell me the odds.
02:18GS1 at flight level.
02:18GS2 at flight level.
02:26Autopilot enabled.
02:30T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
02:45Least up.
02:46Lift back first.
02:47Thanks, 97.
02:57New Glen has cleared the bow.
03:00New Glen has cleared the tower.
03:03Go, way to go.
03:07We'll see the 7-0 engine.
03:1130 seconds into flight.
03:16Engine operating parameters continue with good.
03:19A close by the dispatches now move.
03:2140 seconds in.
03:26End of road streets now level.
03:2750 seconds into flight.
03:33We'll see the 7-0 engine.
03:33Good engine operating parameters.
03:34All 4, 4, 4.
03:38A clean boom.
03:39We're coming up here on max Q.
03:41Maximum dynamic pressure.
03:42This is the hardest point on the vehicle when it comes to the pressure and the speed.
03:48We want to see this rocket punch through.
03:50That max Q will stand by.
03:52Control is good and mark control.
03:561 minute 15 seconds in.
04:05Now passing Mach 1.
04:06New Glen is now supersonic.
04:09Supersonic.
04:09And we can hear the 1-0 engine operating parameters continue to look good at full thrust.
04:17Max Q maximum dynamic pressure.
04:261 minute 45 seconds in.
04:29We have pass max Q.
04:31All 7-0 engine continue to look good.
04:325-0 engine nominal.
04:34Seem good control on MR and TPC.
04:37Generations profile nominal.
04:38Now passing 2 minutes into flight.
04:42The 7 BE-4 is unreal.
04:50One minute remaining in boost phase.
04:53All right.
04:54One minute remaining in boost phase.
04:56You heard our team say.
04:58Then we'll hit Miko.
04:59Main engine cut off.
05:00That's going to lead to a sequence of events.
05:03We'll separate the first stage from the second.
05:07And that's when the first stage is going to begin its journey back home.
05:12We're going to see if we can land the booster separately.
05:15Of course, we will get the second stage off and going.
05:19Approximately 30 seconds now remaining in the burn.
05:21With the NASA ASCAPE satellites on board on their way to Mars.
05:24The trajectory continues to look good.
05:25Seeing good data quality coming down from the vehicle.
05:28Body rate response is nominal.
05:28Great to hear that.
05:29Good data quality.
05:30All 7 engines continue to look good.
05:32Next up, Miko, which is main engine cut off.
05:41The tears are real.
05:44You can hear them all the way in here.
05:49And we have Miko.
05:51And we have Miko.
05:53And we have good stage set.
05:55We have good stage separation.
05:57And we have ignition on stage 2.
06:04Both engine parameters look good.
06:05Stage 2 ignition.
06:07Oh, you see the two rockets there.
06:10Body rate stamping out nicely.
06:18Both BPU engines look good at the high thrust set point.
06:22Body rate responses look good.
06:23Three minutes, 43 seconds in the flight.
06:26We have good indication of payload-faring jason.
06:42Both B3U engines continue to look good.
06:45Body rate response is nominal.
06:46Seeing good data coming down from both stages.
06:48Great data.
06:49We're four minutes in to MG2.
06:52And you saw the spectacular view look good.
07:00Body rate response continue to look good.
07:03This is a nine-and-a-half-minute burn for B3U.
07:06Four minutes, 25 seconds in the flight.
07:14Wow.
07:15All right.
07:16At nine minutes is when we're expecting the first stage to touch down on Jacqueline.
07:28Approximately two minutes remaining in the GS-1 coast.
07:30Thank you again, everybody, for joining us for NG-2.
07:38So far, a nominal mission.
07:41Our second mission of NG-2.
07:41The GS-2 is now 320 kilometers downrange, traveling at 2.8 kilometers per second.
07:47Trajectory continues to look good on both stages.
07:49We had a clean ascent burn, clean separation, clean fairing jason.
07:52Right down the middle of the range track.
07:54Engine operating parameters on GS-2 look good.
07:56It sounds like our GS-2 is having a beautiful ride.
08:01The NASA escapade satellites are exposed to space right now.
08:07And we've got GS-1 coming down for landing at T plus nine minutes.
08:16One minute remaining in the GS-1 coast.
08:36Continue to see good data coming down from both GS-1 and GS-2.
08:40Body rates on both stages look good.
08:43B3U engines look good.
08:46Everything looking good, looking nominal.
08:51Seeing good TVC and MR control on GS-2.
08:52And Ari on this moment coming up is an important one.
08:55It is.
08:55We're going to relight the BE-4 engines for the reentry burn.
09:02Body rates snowing out on GS-1.
09:04Exo turn is complete.
09:06There you go.
09:07It's about 300,000 feet, less than 100 kilometers up there coming in
09:12for a landing on the Jaclyn, 375 miles offshore, waiting for the first time to land Blue Origin's new blend booster on the Jaclyn.
09:24We're going to see body rates on GS-1.
09:37Continue to see body rates on GS-1.
09:40That looks great.
09:41We have our booster reentry burn.
09:43All three engines.
09:49No matter what happens next, we have had a good day.
09:55This is further than we made it on NG-1.
09:57That's right.
09:58The indication of engine ignition on GS-1.
10:02Continue to see good data from GS-1.
10:04About a minute and a half is when we would see, never tell me the odds, return to Earth.
10:21You see it in a horizontal position.
10:23We've got the strikes on the base of the booster, which give it lift.
10:26So we can basically fly this booster.
10:29Of course, we're using the Ford fins as well, plus some of our reaction control system as well as the Gingling on the B-Forge engines to turn the rocket accordingly.
10:42On here, it starts to tilt down.
10:43GS-1 now halfway and a slam burn.
10:44One minute to go.
10:45GS-1, sister, GS-2 systems continue to look good.
10:54GS-2 throttle down complete.
10:56Responses look good.
10:59GS-1, sister, GS-1, sister.
11:028 minutes, 20 seconds from the flight.
11:03GS-1, sister, GS-1, sister, GS-1.
11:08Tending back the landing burning mission.
11:10And we have landing burning missions and 3 good engines.
11:13We've got our booster.
11:14Laning burn.
11:18Engine control, let's go.
11:22Of course, those calls are there.
11:248 minutes, 42 seconds from the flight.
11:26Links deployed.
11:29A great shot for my booster.
11:35Standing back to touchdown.
11:40Standing back to touchdown.
11:53Standing back to touchdown.
11:57Standing back to touchdown.
12:07Congratulations.
12:11Congratulations.
12:15Congratulations.
12:19Congratulations.

13:13Congratulations.
13:15Congratulations.
13:17Congratulations.
13:19You did it.
13:21You guys did it.
13:23The GS2 trajectory continues to look good.
13:25And body rate phenomenon.
13:27Tank pressures look good.
13:29Engine operating parameters look good.
13:31GS2 is now 1,600 kilometers down range, traveling at 5.9 kilometers per second.
13:39There you have it.
13:40There you have it.
13:41On the right-hand side, GS2.
13:43On the left-hand side, you have our booster.
13:46Our new wave booster.
13:47Never tell me the odds.
13:49Right there.
13:50On the Jacklin in the middle of that feather.
13:53Absolutely incredible.
13:55Congratulations, guys.
13:57A landed orbital rocket.
14:00What an incredible day for Blue Origin.
14:06For the space industry.
14:08These two systems continue to look good to return.
14:14I'm speechless, which is rare for me.
14:34Approximately one minute remaining in the burn.
14:38GS2 continues.
14:40On a nominal path.
14:42I need a second to catch the words again.
14:47I think I heard my hand banging on the table too much.
14:52This is incredible.
14:54Tank pressure is the nominal.
14:56Pottle pressure is the stable.
14:58Oh, I'm getting worried they're going to replay the landing.
15:02That's something so good.
15:03You've got to watch it twice.
15:05Give it back to us.
15:0712 minutes 30 seconds into flight.
15:12Look at that.
15:14Beautiful.
15:15Controlled landing.
15:16Perfect.
15:17Of the first stage of New Glenn with the one central BE4.
