Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin New Glenn:
The expendable hydrolox upper stage for the reusable methalox New Glenn booster.
This is in preparation for New Glenn's 2nd test flight. The 1st test flight achieved orbit, but the booster blew up during its hypersonic landing attempt.
"January’s GS2 performed remarkably during our inaugural New Glenn launch, delivering our payload to orbit with less than 1% deviation from the target. Today, we completed a full duration 15-second hotfire test of the upper stage for our NG-2 mission. This time, we achieved enhanced performance from the BE-3U engine, increasing the maximum thrust from 173,000 lbf to 175,000 lbf per engine, further expanding New Glenn’s capabilities for our customers."
