Reports revealed that New Glenn's two engines, optimized to function in the vacuum of space, should fire up and propel the vehicle to speeds necessary to enter orbit — typically around 17,500 miles per hour, or nearly 23 times the speed of sound.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket boasts a two-stage design. The first stage, known as GS1, is propelled by a cluster of seven BE-4 engines. These engines are touted as the most powerful LNG-fueled engines ever developed.
