The Blue Origin space company Jeff Bezos has been forced to postpone again today (Jan. 13) the first launch of its powerful New Glenn rocket.

New Glenn had been scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Monday morning during a three-hour “window” of time, weather conditions allowed.

However, shortly before the planned launch, a technical problem forced the company to abandon the attempt for another day.

“We’re standing down on today’s launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window. We’re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt,” said Blue Origin.

The launch was originally scheduled for January 10 and then January 12, but Blue Origin abandoned both attempts due to severe weather.

The 98-meter-tall New Glenn, which Blue Origin has been developing for nearly a decade, features a reusable first stage, like SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.

This first stage is designed to return to the Atlantic Ocean, specifically to the Landing Platform Vessel 1. That barge is nicknamed Jacklyn, after Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos’ mother.
