New Glenn using NASA Mobile Launcher 2 and LC 39B

April 5, 2026r/BlueOrigin

In r/BlueOrigin, commenters argue whether New Glenn could take over ML 2 or use LC 39B, focusing on vertical versus horizontal integration, MethaLOX versus HydroLOX incompatibilities, and NSSL contract needs.

Could Blue Origin take over ML-2 to launch New Glenn?
The NASA Mobile Launcher is designed to roll out the assembled SLS, Space Launch System, vertically.
both LC-39B and ML2 would need massive modifications to support New Glenn due to the fact that NG burns MethaLOX, SLS uses HydroLOX.
