00:00It's Benzinga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street.
00:02Blue Origin's new Glenn rocket launched successfully from Cape Canaveral on Sunday
00:07and completed a booster landing, but the mission encountered a payload issue later in flight.
00:13According to the Wall Street Journal, the rocket failed to deploy a satellite
00:16for AST Space Mobile into the correct orbit.
00:20Blue Origin said the payload was placed into an off-nominal orbit,
00:23and teams are assessing the issue.
00:26AST said the satellite's altitude was too low to sustain operations,
00:31and it will be removed from orbit.
00:33The setback comes as Blue Origin works to increase launch frequency
00:36and compete with SpaceX while managing a backlog of missions.
