Blue Origin announced on Monday evening that it plans to make a second attempt to launch the New Glenn rocket at 1 am ET (06:00 UTC) on Tuesday.
In the company’s short update, it confirmed earlier reporting by Ars that the first attempt on Monday morning was scrubbed due to ice buildup on a vent line. “This morning’s scrub was due to ice forming in a purge line on an auxiliary power unit that powers some of our hydraulic systems,” the company said.
Blue Origin has apparently managed to address both the rocket’s technical problems, while also replenishing liquid oxygen, methane, and other commodities needed to fuel the large booster within a 24-hour period.
