Blue Origin awalnya berencana untuk melakukan penerbangan perdana ini, yang disebut NG-1, Jumat (10/1), tetapi menunda percobaannya selama 72 jam karena laut yang bergelora di daerah Samudra Atlantik tempat tahap pertama roket diharapkan mendarat.

New Glenn, yang telah dalam pengembangan selama sekitar satu dekade, adalah roket kelas orbit pertama milik Blue Origin.
