The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday that it has issued a commercial space launch license for Blue Origin's — Jeff Bezos' rocket company — New Glenn launch. Blue Origin entered into a highly competitive area it has long sought to join,

The Part 450 commercial license is good for five years, allowing launches of New Glenn as well as return landings of its first-stage on a ship stationed downrange in the Atlantic, similar to how SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets’ first stages land on droneships.

On Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration gave Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin approval for its first-ever mission of the New Glenn vehicle, potentially allowing the aerospace firm to reach its 2024 launch goal.
