AI Summary

Blue Origin has received FAA clearance to launch its New Glenn rocket again after the agency approved the company’s corrective report. The FAA had grounded New Glenn following the third mission, when the vehicle failed to place the AST SpaceMobile satellite into the intended orbit. Blue Origin announced on X that the agency accepted the corrective measures and that NG‑4 preparations are continuing. In April, the company successfully reused New Glenn’s first‑stage booster for NG‑3, but the satellite was released into an off‑nominal orbit and later de‑orbited due to insufficient altitude for its thrusters.
