New Glenn's third flight failed to deliver AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite to its intended orbit after a BE-3U engine on the second stage lost thrust during its second burn, stranding the payload too low to recover; the reusable first stage still landed successfully on Blue Origin's Atlantic droneship.
