New Glenns first stage (GS1[1][2]) is designed to be reusable for a minimum of 25 flights,[3] and will land vertically, a technology previously developed by Blue Origin and tested in 2015–2016 on its New Shepard suborbital launch vehicle. The second stage (GS2[1][2]), which is 26.6 m (87 ft) tall and has the same diameter as GS-1,[4] is expendable. Both stages use orthogrid aluminum tanks with welded aluminum domes and common bulkheads, as well as autogenous pressurization.[5]
The first stage is powered by seven BE-4 methane/oxygen engines—designed and manufactured by Blue Origin—producing 17,000 kN (3,800,000 lbf) of liftoff thrust.[6] The second stage is powered by two BE-3U vacuum optimized engines, also designed and manufactured by Blue Origin, using hydrogen/oxygen as propellants.
