New Armstrong speculation : r/BlueOrigin - Reddit
Jan 4, 2021 · Blue Origin is currently talking with NASA about constructing a new, large launch facility for their New Armstrong rocket north of 39B, where the original Pad 39C would have been located. This new facility, if built, would be named Launch Complex 49. The Environmental Impact Study for the planned launch site is currently underway.
Is BO's New Armstrong more likely to eventually fly, and ... - Reddit
Blue Origin has set out from the start focused on a goal: cis-lunar habitation. They have the luxury of not needing to be profitable at every point along the way. BO's main emphasis internally now seems to be BE-4 and New Armstrong, even though New Glen and BE-3 are more visible simply because they actually fly.
I think I have figured out how New Armstrong fits into Blue …
Oct 25, 2021 · The New Armstrong concept was a reusable that is bigger than the Saturn V with more thrust. It will be a VTVL, just go straight up and come straight down. The 2nd stage will pitch over into an orbit or send the payload to translunar injection. For now, New Glenn will be providing that function for orbital payloads. The higher priority for Blue ...
My own personal concept for New Armstrong. : r/BlueOrigin - Reddit
Feb 28, 2019 · The second part is the New Armstrong Earth Orbit Shuttle or E.O.S for short. The EOS is hydrolox powered which means that it delivers less overall thrust than a methalox design but provides weight savings. Full stack the New Armstrong EOS …
Was thinking about New Armstrong today.... : r/BlueOrigin - Reddit
Jul 11, 2023 · Medium therm, a return of the 3 stage version of New Glenn might make sense, to increqse high energy orbit performance. Since the current upper stage is absolutely massive, and thus heavy, performance to GEO or so is not that high (compared to what other NSSL rockets manage relative to the LEO payload)
If New Armstrong is still on the drawing board, what could it be?
Forget about New Armstrong, even New Glenn seems further and further away. Blue better get its act together, get rid of their old-space managers that have ossified the company and re-transition into startup mode. Hire some greenhorns, blow up some hardware, set some bold goals, fire those who can't meet them, rinse and repeat.
New Armstrong proposal : r/BlueOrigin - Reddit
Aug 17, 2023 · Might be a bit wild but still somewhat realistic and very fun to think of. Would send blue moon to TLI in a single launch, assemble GEO space based solar power, start to realize BO’s original goal of large scale space habitation in LEO with truly enormous space stations finally made reality for 100s to live in
(Discussion) The future New Armstrong rocket. : r/BlueOrigin
Oct 26, 2018 · There has been some speculation relating to Blue Origins coat of arms. Suggesting every line on the coat of arms is a rocket Blue Origin is going to build. New Shepard 3.6km/s New Glenn 9.5km/s New Armstrong 13km/s
Blue already in talks with NASA for New Armstrong launch site
Jan 25, 2018 · Yeah I was really happy to see this! I admit though, I wonder how all the launches will be coordinated. If Blue is flying both New Glenn an New Armstrong from the Cape, SpaceX is launching F9, FH, and BFR from the Cape, and ULA is launching Vulcan from the Cape, I could see the place getting incredibly congested.
Possible Variations of New Glenn and New Armstrong rocket
Jun 4, 2019 · Disregarding the already-discussed New Armstrong... The various combinations of upper stages/payloads on New Glenn is kinda interesting. I don't think the 3 stage habitat launch option makes much sense though. New Glenn 2 stage can send about 10 tons direct to TLI. The NG S2 hydrogen tank, without outfitting, should weigh about that much.
