  Blue Origin planned as of 2018 to offer both single-payload dedicated flights and, after the fifth launch, dual-manifesting of large communications satellites to be transported to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO). All contracted launches from the start will feature a reusable first-stage, so just like the practice in commercial aircraft transport, landing conditions can affect the timing and flight parameters of a launch. Following the inaugural launch of New Glenn in January 2025, with successful attainment of orbital payload placement but failure to land the booster stage, future launches are on hold while Blue and the FAA conduct a mishap investigation of the unsuccessful booster return.
