A towering new rocket built by Jeff Bezos\u2019 company Blue Origin successfully conducted a dress rehearsal of a launch countdown Friday evening, culminating with the seven engines of the booster stage igniting and firing for 24 seconds.<\/p>\n

The vehicle remained firmly clamped to the launchpad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The test, known as a hot fire, was the last big technical hurdle. The next time the engines fire, the rocket, known as New Glenn, should be heading to space on its inaugural flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext stop launch,\u201d Mr. Bezos posted on the social media site X<\/a>, sharing a video of the engines firing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Neither Mr. Bezos nor his company announced a launch date. While Blue Origin officials had promised to launch this year, an advisory<\/a> posted on an aviation industry website indicates it will miss that target by at least a few days into the new year, and could launch as early as Jan. 6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier in the day, the Federal Aviation Administration removed the final administrative hurdle to liftoff by issuing a launch license for New Glenn.<\/p>\n
