Blue Origin put its orbital-class New Glenn rocket through its last major test in preparation for the rocket's first-ever launch.

The test firing as fog built over the Florida coast marks the final major step in the rocket company's campaign to bring the New Glenn rocket—a privately developed, super-heavy lift vehicle—to launch readiness. Blue Origin said it fired the vehicle's engines for a duration of 24 seconds. They fired at full thrust for 13 of those seconds.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket is one step closer to lifting off on its maiden voyage. Just before 8 p.m. on Friday evening, the company completed its long awaited hot-fire test, lighting up the pad at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and sending a rumble throughout North Brevard County.
