Description
Initially flight 3 of New Glenn was looking like a massive success with Blue Origin pulling off an unprecedented successful reflight of a booster on the 3rd flight. But, the mission wasn't over, and the updates went quiet when we were expecting to hear news about the Satellite being deployed.
Something went wrong with the second stage and the satellite ended up in an unusable orbit. And as of right now we don't even know if the second stage was deorbited, given the lack of response to this question I suspect it's still in orbit and will fall back in uncontrolled fashion in coming weeks.
