The booster landed on a large barge in the Atlantic Ocean, while the satellite separated and powered on but ended up in what Jeff Bezos' rocket company described as an "off-nominal orbit."

The New Glenn rocket, carrying AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite, blasted off from the launchpad at Cape Canaveral, Florida, at about 7:25 a.m. local time. Its reusable first stage returned to Earth ten minutes later, touching down on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean.

"BOOSTER TOUCHDOWN! 'Never Tell Me The Odds' has done it again!" Blue Origin wrote on X, with Bezos posting footage of the now-reusable rocket touching down on the barge.
