Los Angeles: Blue Origin's enormous new rocket, New Glenn, successfully passed a crucial test.

Blue Origin announced in a release on Monday that New Glenn's second stage has successfully passed a risk reduction hot-fire test, marking a significant step towards its first flight, which is expected to take place in November, according to Xinhua news agency.

The hot fire lasted 15 seconds and marked the first time Blue Origin operated the vehicle as an integrated system.

The purpose of the hotfire test was to validate interactions between the subsystems on the second stage, its two engines, and the ground control systems, according to the company.

In addition to testing flight hardware, the hot-fire test was also an opportunity for the launch operations team to practice launch day procedures on the console and verify timing for many critical operations, according to Blue Origin.

New Glenn's second stage, roughly 26.8 meters tall with a diameter of 7 meters, is designed for demanding, highly energetic missions to low Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit, and geosynchronous orbit.

The first flight of New Glenn is targeted for later in 2024, with NASA's ESCAPADE mission to Mars as its payload, marking a significant milestone for Blue Origin in launching satellites and contributing to space exploration.
