NG-3
The first reused booster flew, but the satellite ended up in a useless orbit.
Partial success April 19, 2026
Goal
- Fly a reused booster for the first time and land it again.
- Put AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 7 satellite in its planned orbit.
What happened
The booster from NG-2 flew again and landed on Jacklyn again.
An upper-stage engine didn’t reach full thrust on its second burn, leaving the satellite too low to stay in orbit. It was brought down on purpose.
