Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket grounded after delivering satellite to wrong orbit

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has grounded Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket after its upper stage failed to deliver its payload, an AST SpaceMobile satellite, to the correct orbit following a successful launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Sunday. This grounding occurred due to a mishap during the rocket's second-stage flight sequence, despite the reusable booster returning to its landing pad without issue.
