Blue Origin New Glenn 9x4

New Glenn 9x4 is Blue Origin’s development-stage super-heavy variant of New Glenn. Its reusable first stage is designed for at least 25 missions and uses nine BE-4 engines; four restartable BE-3U engines power the second stage. Blue Origin describes a vehicle nearly 400 feet tall with an 8.7 m payload fairing and advertises 70 tonnes to low Earth orbit, 14 tonnes directly to geostationary orbit, or 20 tonnes to translunar injection. These are design performance figures rather than demonstrated mission payloads. The variant builds on New Glenn 7x2 designs, subsystems, manufacturing and ground operations.
