On January 13, Blue Origin made its first attempt to launch its New Glenn heavy rocket. However, the pre-start countdown had to be interrupted due to technical problems.

The New Glenn rocket has been under development by Blue Origin since the early 2010s. It is capable of launching up to 45 tons of payload into low Earth orbit. Its first stage is reusable and, after separating from the rocket, should land on a barge in the ocean.
New Glenn’s launch date has been postponed several times due to technical problems and unsuitable weather conditions. As a result, the first attempt to send a rocket into space took place on January 13. However, the pre-launch countdown was never completed and Blue Origin had to interrupt the launch procedure. The company later said this was due to the need to resolve a subsystem issue that could not be fixed until the end of the launch window.
Blue Origin did not specify the cause of the problems, but unofficial reports said the launch was canceled due to ice formation in one of the vent lines that carried pressurized gas away from the rocket. Several attempts were made to melt it, but they were never successful.
So far, the company has not said when the next attempt to launch New Glenn will be made. Most likely, it will take place not earlier than 48 hours, which is due to the need to replenish fuel supplies at the launch complex.
However, there are other factors as well. Weather forecasters predict that the weather in the Atlantic, where the barge on which the rocket’s first stage is to land, will begin to deteriorate in the coming days. Finally, the current window for the New Glenn launch will end on January 16. Taking all this into account, it is quite possible that the next attempt to launch a rocket will be made as early as the second half of January.
