FLORIDA TODAY photographers captured a gallery of images of the huge Blue Origin New Glenn rocket streaking skyward above Brevard County.

A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket lifts off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Florida, U.S.,. It is the third launch of New Glenn, carrying the AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 7satellite into low Earth orbit.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket is poised to lift off for the third time ever on Sunday morning (April 19) — but for the first time with previously flown hardware. Here's how to watch it live.

Blue Origin launches New Glenn rocket on NG-3 mission at 7:25 a.m. Sunday, April 19, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Blue Origin used a previously flown rocket booster for a satellite launch and landed it again, but the satellite went into the wrong orbit.

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin said on Sunday that its New Glenn rocket booster had touched down after launch, marking ‌its first landing of a reused booster and intensifying its rivalry with Elon Musk's SpaceX.

It's a major milestone for the company's new mega-rocket system, putting it in position to challenge SpaceX's dominance of the global launch market.
