Blue Origin recently created a video that revealed the engine and nose cone of its reusable rocket, titled 'New Glenn. The reusable rocket was initially developed in 2018 when the United States Air force awarded the company $500 million USD.
Jarrett Jones, the New Glenn VP stated that the rocket is, "sized to fit almost 50 percent more [payload volume] than the next competitor." Jones also indicated that the rocket is seven meters across, which makes it the biggest composite faring to date.
One of the benefits of having a large payload is that customers will be able to customize a payload. This can be helpful for launching larger satellites, as it can be launched using the same rocket.
